The Savannah of Broken Trusts
   The grasses here are nearly four feet tall, making it hard for the smaller
folk to see much past their noses. Others, however, can see the savannah
stretch to the horizon, the wind-bent grasses broken only by the occasional
rock outcropping or baobab tree. This area is home to the M'Bele tribes,
currently only two in number; their long history of war and betrayal gives
the region its sad name.

Site of a Recent Battle
   The savannah grasses are trampled and flattened here, and bloated corpses
litter the area. The corpses are easily identified as being M'Bele, although
whether they are Tukluk or Butsu is harder to determine. All metal or other
valuables have long been looted; it looks as though the battle is nearly two
days old, now.

Entrance to The Savannah of Broken Trusts
   The sparse plains grasses give way to a luxuriant veldt, with tall stalks
that are as white as they are yellow. The ground underfoot is very dry. The
savannah extends out of sight to the east and south, while the line of the
jungle can be seen heading north and southwest. Considering the dry climate,
a surprisingly large number of wild animals can be seen roaming the area.

A Wide Swath of Plain
   The plains extend lazily east-to-west here, bounded to the north and south
by extremely dense jungle. The corridor is quite wide, perhaps five hundred
paces. To the east, the grasses take on an unusual blond tint, and the shapes
of distant animals can be seen roaming the veldt.
   There seems to be a strange pattern in the grass here, a change in
coloration that is too regular to be the product of chance.

Edge of The Savannah of Broken Trusts
   The savannah here gives way to an incredibly dense jungle. It is as if a
powerful mage had summoned a wall of brambles; in a nearly straight line
stretching out of sight in both directions, the veldt grasses are cut off and
a jumble of tightly packed roots, vines and branches begins.
