blossoming fields,

Lone, desolate, empty; they all describe the Barren Lands in perfect terms. This patch of land is not known as an excellent foraging spot let alone mediocre. It is however, known for being dangerous and filled with predators, so any that come here better be alert and experienced.
There are a few bolt holes and burrows around in this area, but they are rarely used, just like these lands. Again, better to check things out very carefully.
