Savai has grassy plains atop mountainous cliff faces and swampy subterranean tunnels with an arid climate, receiving only a few inches of naturally generated rainfall per year. Humans ration water carefully or produce it through magic, while much of Savai's wildlife relies on the movements of large monsters who bring weather systems with them.

The canyons and tunnels of the Unundo cave system extend for miles under Savai. Watch your step down there in the dark; some tunnels terminate suddenly in massive drops, like the seemingly bottomless Glondo Gorge.

The Jal Korcha, or "terror road," runs west from Drannith, along the shore of Attayal, and through the mountains of Raugrin before reaching the city of Lavabrink. The Savai stretch of the road involves crossing many precarious stone bridges over the triome's many trenches. Savai is a cracked plain of arid grasslands along an expansive coastline, with branching cave networks lying under the surface. Prides of big cats hunt across the steppes, while the tunnels and trenches below the grassy surface provide cover for humans and other prey species.

The Cat clade of monsters are ferocious carnivores that roam in prides across the plains and mesas of Savai, hunting grazers like oxen, antelope, and elephants. Similar to cats you might be familiar with from other planes, Ikorian cats enjoy playing with their food. The larger members of the clade delight in hunting humans: turning the tables on monster hunters, stalking traveling merchants, and circumventing the defenses of sanctuary cities through their strength, agility, and cunning.

You can identify cat clade monsters by some common features they share with more "traditional" cats. They have similar ears, tails, and paws, and often feature lion-like manes or fur patterns reminiscent of tigers, cheetahs, or jaguars. Many Ikorian cats also have wings. To my surprise, the locals seem to treat this as a natural feature of the clade rather than a special mutation. In either case, my advice is the same: always keep an eye on the sky.

Humans have been suffering at the hand of monsters since before history was recorded. One monster in particular has always been, and continues to be the greatest threat to the humans..... Snapdax, the All Hunter. Apex monster of the Savai Triome on Ikoria.

This ferocious hunter lives in a cavern lair, which is adorned by the trophies from its kills, in a twisted show of justice, since usually humans are the ones who display their hunting trophies. Snapdax is an unrivaled predator, combining cat-like cleverness and nightmarish stealth with dinosaur aggression. It can be said that it is the most efficient killing machine.

An ancient tale tells of Snapdax destroying early human settlements all across Savai. According to the legend, the survivors of the attacks joined forces to build a new sanctuary together, which they named Drannith
