The general Lowlands area was given the name 'The Barren' by generations of loners that just happened to walk into the trench-like landscape that split the Nevrak and Dakanna packlands. The ground is vegetation-less and the dry air screams 'wasteland'. This area has be described in the past as 'wolf's hell'. The reasoning behind this is either because of the lack of prey, the intense weather in this area, the lack of shelter, or that one must choose to either die in this barren land, or join one of the two rivaling packs. Good luck, loners.
