Buffkin Plains
In the Runiverse
Buffkin Plains is located in the northwestern part of the known Runiverse. The plains lie west of Honor Mountain.
Spanning as far as the eye can see, the Buffkin Plains are a vast tapestry of lush prairies, undulating hills, tall grasses, and a kaleidoscope of wildflowers. This magnificent expanse serves as a natural haven for diverse species like bison, unicorns, antelope, deer, and the eponymous Buffkin—all reveling in the expansive grazing lands.
The landscape is a breathtaking spectacle of natural beauty, set beneath a vivid blue sky adorned with gently drifting, fluffy white clouds. The climate of the prairie is nothing short of remarkable, encompassing a range of dramatic weather events from awe-inspiring thunderstorms and powerful tornadoes to annual wildfires that play a vital role in rejuvenating the land, clearing old vegetation to make way for fresh growth.
Drok's Hollow
There is told to be a small coastal town named Drok's Hollow that is home to a simple community. A place where the farmers of the delta, the herders of the Buffkin Plains, and fishers of the sea come to trade, connect, and mingle.
Once per year, people travel from far and wide to attend the autumn harvest festival, known as "The Day of the Black Dawn" that remembers an ancient time when an evil beast rose up out of the ocean, blocking out the sunrise.
Now, villagers cover their windows of their homes and shops on the this day of remembrance. The festival serves as a harvest festival for merchants, farmers, and mariners.
The local inn, run by an ancient Elf named Mags is believed to be the last living resident of Drok's Hollow who was there for the Day of the Black Dawn. Ask Mags if you want to learn more about it...
