The Plains people are known for being of strange, magical stock. Many Plains people have unusual abilities, such as foresight or magical links between siblings.
Once the great capital of Opal territory, the city of Hira became known as the "City of the Rats" when it was overrun by a plague of Plains rats. However after the city of Hira was abandoned, the people of Hira created the city of Noradz.
The Opal territory's gem is the Opal, symbol of hope. The Opal allows the wearer to see glimpses of the future; it aids sight and has a special affinity with the Lapis Lazuli.
