These Steppes are located in the Northeastern portion of Lyzy. It is isolated from the rest of the continent by Eastern Section of the Crossing Chains. It seems a dull green when seen from above.
Most inhabitants of Lyzy simply call it the "Steppes", either unaware or uncaring of the Southern Steppes in a distant continent.
The Steppes' flora is dominated by grasses and by horsetails, which form a mosaic carefully tended by Fairies. The mosaic is actually composed of 16 different kinds of "tiles", each with one dominant plant, 9 of which are grasses, and 7 of which are horsetails. On average, each tile covers about one square kilometre, but they can vary in size and shape.
Among the dominant cover plants is molasses grass, which is highly flammable, and seasonally these tiles burn. The fire might spread, but it is often interrupted by the tiles of foamy horsetail, which can extract beryl from soil and harness its fireproof proprieties for itself.
Beneath this taller ground cover, many small forbs such as clover can be seen.
At the corners of the tiles there is always a tree. The most common tree here is the silver birch, but oaks, poplars and willows can also occur. Small pine forests patch the biome, surrounded by a halo of brambles and of weeds.

One of the largest creatures to walk the Opus is found here, the steppe titan. It is not part of their nesting ground, but they do migrate through it.
