HORNED BASIN

     This plush, fertile lowland is named for its numerous herds of wandering deer and antelope.  Predators in the region include Wolves and Lions, but these are kept strongly in check by the efforts of the Gandiel Cyclopes who hunt this region extensively.  Wyverns from the nearby Wyvern Hills are somewhat more of a problem, and they prey mercilessly upon the region’s game.  During the wet season, both the Gandiel and Hoof Rivers spill over their banks and create a large flood plain area within the Horned Basin.  This seasonal flooding serves to increase the fertility of the region tremendously, but discourages any type of settlement by mannish races.
