The high, windswept plateau stretches in every direction almost as far as the eye can see, surrounded by towering, snow-clad mountains. It's a bleak place, thin soil over solid rock, supporting scraggly tufts of something resembling grass, and a few stunted plants eking out a precarious living in whatever crevices they were lucky enough to take root in.
