The Barrens are vast tracts of rolling grasslands east
of the Thentis Mountains.
There are no large bodies of water and rainfall is reduced. The grass can grow to heights of several feet. In the winter there
can be terrible blizzards and in the summer, extreme heat and droughts. There may also be sudden storms, tornadoes, flash
floods, and hail storms.
The Barrens are the home of the Red Savages, similar to the Native Americans of North America. No white
man has ever penetrated to the eastern edge of the Barrens. The Red Savage culture is nomadic, based on the kaiila. There
are a few tribes that have not mastered the kailla and some tribes that use tarns. They depend on the kailiauk for their lives,
for food, clothing, shelter, tools and weapons. Almost all tribes hate whites.
