The Balduvian Steppe is a vast series of rocky plains due north of Karplusan Mountains. Its rich and fertile soil of the Balduvian Steppe makes this region the breadbasket of New Argive.[1]
The steppe was once home to Balduvian barbarians during the time of the Ice Age on Terisiare (Dominaria). Modern inhabitants of the steppe are farmers or herders, though even the humblest home usually incorporates at least one powerstone shard, which can power tools of the trade such as blacksmith's forges, miller's grindstones, or farmer's churns.[1]
During the second Phyrexian invasion of Dominaria, Shanid was dispatched to the steppe to root out sleeper agents. An extremely paranoid and ruthless knight, Shanid left a trail of burned villages in his wake.[2] This region replaced the former Malpiri Plains.[3]
