The Mythenean Steppes

Species
The Mythenean Steppes are a region in the North-West of the continent. It is covered almost entirely in ten foot tall grass and is populated mostly by human villages and roving Dromean tribes. The Rachnyx are rarely encountered by the two more major species of the Mythenean Steppes.

The apex predator is the Scorpi, who, although they are not sentient, dominate large portions of the Mythenean Steppes. Although there are several animals that are larger than the Scorpi, the larger animals have a tendency to lethargic behavior.

The Mythenean Steppes is also where the parasite, Lumaren, came from. The Lumaren are not the only parasite that the Mythenean Steppes spawned. A large number of viruses also originated from the Mythenean Steppes. See Mythenean Parasites and Viruses.

Although Rachnyx are not well known by the larger populations except as a horror story, they do live inside the Mythenean Steppes.There is an occasional fissure in the ground, called an earthcrack by the natives, where Rachnyx live. They generally tend to keep to themselves. The earthcracks sustain the Rachnyx.
