The Baobabs of the Veld stand as colossal wooden towers, some of the oldest living beings known in the Runiverse. Their swollen trunks and vast canopies define the horizon, shaping the landscape around them. At their bases, the plain stretches wide with tall grasses, flowering herbs, and resilient shrubs that manage to survive the long dry seasons.
The region sustains an unusual density of wildlife. Herds of antelope and the occasional mammoth graze the open ground, while predators—large cats, hyena, and even the fabled manticore—stalk their movements. More elusive are the neosaurs, silently gliding across the savannah or lingering near the tree-shadowed edges. Troops of mandrill and baboon chatter in the lower branches, cobras coil in the underbrush, and the indomitable honey badger forages wherever it pleases.
For the Green Hat Wizards, this environment is an open laboratory. The plant life offers rare medicinal properties, and from the Baobabs themselves the seeds are particularly sought after—valued as both a source of nourishment and a foundation for potent alchemical work.
