Inhabitants : storm manticores, greater stormseekers, centaurs, zebra centaurs, blue sphinxes, rock harpies, humans, lightning elementals, storm sprites

A huge zone in the southwest side of the map , past the lake of illusions.

These rocky plains stretch as far as the eyes can see. The grass is of an interesting tone of greenish blue, trees are huge but scarce. Frequent and very powerful storms rocks the sky. Most of the inhabitants of this place possess a natural resistance to lightnings.

Predators are much less concentrated here than in other part of Felarya, yet it's still a dangerous place as there is few ways to hide and take cover.

A lot of avian predators such as harpies, sphinxes or manticores take advantage of that to stoop and snatch adventurers away. These fields are also home of a large number of giant centaurs who can easily outrun any vehicle and can sense a prey dozens of miles away. The powerful tremor they produce when they gallop is frightening.

Despite that the great rocky fields are the safest way to join the city Kelermn to the west as the other way would be to travel right through the fairy kingdom...

Sandfall Maze

Danger: Normal to Hazardous
Inhabitants: sandfishes, glophorbias, swallower walls, scorching claws nekos, rock harpies, sandfall lurkers, earth mouths, tunneler worms, sand elementals, earth elementals

This place is situated in the western part of the rocky fields and sprawls out over a huge area made of sandstone. Sandfall maze is divided in to two parts:

• The surface, which is a long succession of cliffs, canyons and ravines. It forms a dangerous, crumbly labyrinth, filled with natural traps and inhabited by a huge colony of rock harpies. A ferocious neko tribe lives here as well.

• The underground, accessible mostly through quicksands using sand-diving equipment. This part is truly immense and is much larger than the surface canyons, and a lot more dangerous. The most obvious danger is that the walls and ceiling are made of sandstone and can collapse at any time. Another danger is that sand has flooded entire parts of the underground caves, making it very easy to get lost, even with sand-diving equipment. Strange and dangerous creatures roam these silent halls and swim in the sand. The deepest layers are home to various elementals.
