The Burning Cliffs and environs, as depicted on the Lazzaretti map (2005).

The Barren Wastes, or simply the Wastes (also known as the Barrens, the Barren Plains, or the Northern Barrens) are a forlorn, desolate expanse of rock on the southern shore of the Icy Sea, expanding inland about 100 miles.

North of the Bandit Lands, the Barrens' eastern border is formed by the Forlorn Forest, western Griff Mountains, and the Bluff Hills. Their western border is formed by the Cold Marshes and Opicim River. Once ruled by the nomadic Flan tribes known as the Rovers of the Barrens, these people are but a shadow of their former glory.

Flora[edit]

Moss and lichen are the dominant forms of plant life in the Wastes; sparse grasses and stunted trees grow in sheltered locations.

Features and settlements[edit]

History[edit]

The Barren Wastes are thought to have been created by a magical cataclysm centuries before the Twin Cataclysms.
