and the
Eastern Shaar is a
Fiction al region in the
Fantasy setting of the
Forgotten Realms . The vast savannah-like landscape that forms Shaar is modeled after African savannah and
Veldt . It is populated by an endemic race of elephant-like humanoids known as
Loxo s, as well as by the insectoid
Thri-kreen s and the tauric
Wemic s.
“Thousands of miles of grass, as far as the eye can see, sloping from east to west but with a cliff in the middle, the Landrise, where west drops down to east. The Eastern Shaar is more dry, but both bake by day and freeze by night. Fierce horse nomads (aren't they always fierce?) herd rothé, wemics and centaurs, and there must be something worth trading fo out there, hidden in all that open space. They give us slaves and trinkets and a little ivory, but would rather raid the Border Kingdoms and everywhere else they can reach. Magnificent horses, but they seem to sicken if taken away in trade.”
