Location from The Gods are Bastards by D.D. Webb
A vast expanse of enchanted grassland — the frontier sea that separates civilization from wilderness, home to ancient ruins, wandering monsters, and the last of the old-world adventurers.
The Golden Sea is what frontier means in this world — the space between the mapped and the unknown. It's beautiful and lethal. The grass conceals underground ruins, monster lairs, and ancient artifacts. Adventuring parties cross it for profit and discovery, and a meaningful percentage don't come back. The Rail cuts through it in a straight line connecting Last Rock to civilization, but stepping off the Rail line is stepping into a different world. The Golden Sea is where the western fantasy genre of this setting lives — the open frontier, the unknown horizon, the promise that the next ruin might hold something that changes everything.
Endless golden grassland stretching to every horizon, the grass itself subtly magical — it grows back overnight if cut and hides its true extent. Ancient ruins break the surface at irregular intervals: crumbling towers, half-buried temples, the remnants of civilizations that failed. Heat haze shimmers during the day. At night, strange lights move in the grass.
