The Gold Plains of Agribathia were named so not for the
rich bounty they produced, but for the color of the grass during the hot
summer. The brilliant sunlight made the dried stalks painful to gaze upon;
travelers lacking adequate protection were often made blind by the blazing
stalks. narrow arroyos occasionally cut the dry land, springing to life during
the short spring when it warmed sufficiently for the winter’s snow to melt.
During those short, succulent weeks, the plains were filled with rukruks
nibbling at the sweet grass before being forced back to their burrows by the
brutal summer.
