The Hungering Steppe is an area of Ghur where various factions fight over beasts and bones. This area is the focal point for the Path to Story Podcast.

The land from which the area is named. This vast expanse of flat land is home to many roving beasts and nomadic peoples. To the untrained eye, it could almost be described as idyllic. But this is the Realm of Beasts and there is always a predator waiting to strike. Only the locals know that the top of the food chain is the land itself.

When blood is shed on the Steppe, or if too many people gather together, the ground opens up with jagged maws to swallow the unsuspecting. These sinkholes are filled with jagged rocks that gnash any prey unlucky enough to fall into them.

Any who wish to settle the Hungering Steppe must live the life of a nomad, never staying in one spot less they draw the attention of the the maws.

The beasts of the Steppe move in great herds and are followed by many tribes. It is not enough to chase down your prey, but to outwit the other predators. It is only through brute strength and cunning that one can survive the Steppe.
