History[edit | edit source]

In older Barantine tradition, groups who sought to prove their strength or valor would be ordered to bring back the eye of an Ulyssian Opaleye Basilisk from the heights of this plateau. Few groups would return, and so over time and in Barantine style groups transitioned to other forms of bravery.

Today, the Plateau is used, rarely, for travel between towns. Some bounty hunters continue the traditions of old for riches and fame.

Description[edit | edit source]

The Nemician Plateau is the largest plateau in Ulyssa. Located in southern Barantium, it can take several days on horseback to traverse. Vast savannas stretch across the plateau, and there are a large number of burrows within the expanse. A few paths fork their way up the plateau.

Importance[edit | edit source]

The Nemician Plateau impedes trade between towns located along the Rus and other towns spread throughout Ulyssa. Notably, the Opal Burrows, home to the largest numbers of Ulyssian Opaleye Basilisk dragons, are here. While there are paths which run through the Plateau, many are discouraged from traveling by the terrain and the potential dangers.
