Riverwards of Hellgrass Reach, over the wide plains of white sand, lies the shieldlands known as Ahzkuun, a territory of exposed and wind blasted uplands (Harshness 20), dotted with canyons and deep wind-carved pits. A small number of canyon routes reach all the way across the Ahzkuun, the chief of which is known as the Pass of Eagles. This high sided canyon winds it's way from Still Water to Meerok, a distance of about 5 days travel (Harshness 15).
