Description
The horizon appears to draw close and the sky seems to consume the ground, as if the edge of the world is about to rise up before you.
As you step onto the celestial surface, you realise that you are in a vast flooded plain. With the exception of small islets sheltering immense trees with massive trunks, there seems to be no dry land in sight. However, the water calmly enveloping your legs never exceeds a few feet in depth, and it seems to reinvigorate your tired muscles, making the journey easier.
Outposts
Due to the scarcity of local resources, there are no settlements within the Sunken Savannahs. However, because they extend over long distances and have waters that are friendly to travellers, it is common to find wanderers and adventurers using the Savannahs as a route for their travels.
Aiming to help such travellers, outposts were built; small establishments on the sparse islets of the Savannahs, opposing the region’s scarcity.
When you enter a Sunken Savannah at night, the darkness will make you lose your way, prohibiting you from leaving the Savannah until dawn.
Magic
