Thag Savannah

Thag, the flat lands or wild savannah. It's fairly easy, after spending maybe five minutes on the baked savannah underneath the relentless lashing of the sun, to understand its name. The sparse tree cover barely provides enough shade for one, and the population of wild animals tends to be unwilling to share those coveted slivers of darkness. Short, scrubby, needle-like grass covers the ground almost everywhere in the savannah, and scratches cruelly at the ankles of anyone foolish enough to not have dressed appropriately. Water is extremely spare, and bones litter the ground -- a warning.
