Grasslands

Aside from being intimidating, the cliffs serve another purpose: their shade plays a direct role in supporting the lively grasslands directly to their northeast. Some grasses can be found further north, where sunlight beats directly on the ground, but these are pale green and stunted- with the exception of those surrounding the large watering hole slightly to the north of the area's approximate center, which are shorter than but almost as vibrant as the grasses in the shaded region. Useless as cover to anything larger than a (possibly poisonous- this is the Arena) rabbit, the regular vegetation is nonetheless a welcome relief from the dry desert and rocky cliffs nearby.
