Danger : Normal
Sub zones : Sandfall maze
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 sprawl on a huge area made of sandstone. Sandfall maze is divided in two parts :

  • the surface, a long succession of cliffs, canyons and ravins. 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 with a sand-diving equipment. This part is truly immense and extend much further than the canyon. It's a lot more dangerous as well. The most obvious danger is that the walls and ceiling are made of sandstone and can collapse at any time. Also the sand has flooded entire part of the underground network meaning you can easily lost yourself in it, even with a sand-diving equipment.

Strange and dangerous creatures roam these silent halls or swim in the sand. The deepest layers are notably home to various elementals.
