The is a region of plains at the eastern end of the Shaar. It is home to various non-human monstrous tribes who are allied in a loose confederation for self-defense. The eastern edge of this region is formed by the Giant's Belt Mountains, a range which separates the plains from the desert to the east.

Geography
Edit
Added by Pharuan UndearthForestsEdit
- Aerilpar Forest

MountainsEdit
- Curna Mountains
- This short mountain range lies to the south of the Beastlands. Located within their foothills is the powerful city of Tirumala.[2]
- Giant's Belt Mountains
- Marking the northeastern border of the Beastlands, the Giant's Belt Mountains are from whence the giants who destroyed Veldorn came, making them the origin point of the Beastlands themselves.[1]
- Toadsquat Mountains
- Slumped alongside the Beastlands' southern shore, the Toadsquat Mountains hold, among their secrets, the fortress of Castle Al'hanar.[1]
Regional powersEdit
