AT A GLANCE: The Shaar is a region of
great plains and grassland located far to
the south, beyond the Vilhon Reach.

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: The Shaar is
dominated by miles upon miles of thick
grasslands, and peopled by nomads,
herdsmen, and raiders.  Even so, these
peoples are said to wield great and mystical
powers.

The region known as "Eastern Shaar" 
is sparser and less green, more of a 
wasteland.  Within the Eastern Shaar is 
a huge cleft or canyon, known as the 
Great Rift, Home to many southern 
dwarves. s
