The semi-arid steppes of Ukelia in northwestern Disradún

Ukelia is a semi-arid region in northwestern Disradún and rests to the north of Izibjaal to the southwest and Omre to the south. The region is bounded to the east by the Zephrite Mountains. Most of Ukelia, particularly the southern and central regions, are the haunts of the Kunnin and the Zhek-Kunnin, orc tribes for which the region is infamous. For this reason, Ukelia is rarely traversed by merchant caravans, unless they have the special protection of the indigenous orc tribes.

The climate of Ukelia is a hot, tropical steppe. Ukelia receives light monsoons in the late summer which are its principle source of rain. The flora of Ukelia is drought-resistant grasses and trees which include acacia and baobab trees. The indigenous orc tribes practice seasonal transhumance with their herds and flocks.
