Burning Steppes

The Burning Steppes are the homeland of the orcs, and sits just above the equator. It’s a combination of deserts and steppes, with buttes made out of red stones dotting the landscape. There are shrubs, cacti, and the occasional low-hanging trees, but otherwise there is not a lot of vegetation.

A large canyon, known as the Scar, runs along the western part of the country, the rivers having dug deep down into the ground. Here there is more vegetation and wildlife, but it is very inaccessible due to the sheer drop in the cliffs. This is where the Bloodscream tribe live, flying on wyverns across the canyons.

History
The Steppe has always been home to the orcs, but during the Dark Days the humans almost took over and almost killed all of the orcs. There were only five tribes remaining until Hragran Beastcaller made friends with the Wampus Cats and won back the Steppes.
