To the north and west, beyond the plateaus and the riverlands, the harsh steppes were the yobanjin where harassed for centuries by the ferocious Ujik-hai. After the Desert Moto departed for Rokugan in the early 12th century, the nomadic Yobanjin tribes expanded into the now-empty territory. The coastline was dotted with the ports of Fu Gang, Bo Cheng, and the northernmost, Chandeyang.
