Great Steppe
The Central Coian Steppe, also called the High Plains and the steppes, is a complex of temperate to semi-arid grassland, shrub-land, and chaparral. It extends from the Amardian coast of the Mazdan Sea to the banks of the Batarak River in Cavunia. Zorasan, Kumuso, Phula, Kituk, and Ajahadya all have territory on the steppes.
It has been inhabited historically by the Duljunese, Yanogu, Oroqic, and Kituki peoples, who helped develop trade across the continent by connecting Southern Coius and Satria with Badawiya and Bahia.
