As you sing, your mind fills with the image of the broad plain of the northern steppes under a vast blue sky.

As you continue to sing, the image of the plain again fills your mind. Elaborately decorated round tents dot the landscape, their surfaces colorfully illustrated with symbols and images.

As you continue to sing, the image of the plain again fills your mind. Horses serenely graze in the abundant sunlit grasses of the steppes. Small in stature are these horses, with thick and rough, yet handsome, coats.

As you finish your song, the image of the plain again fills your mind. Among the rounded tents, halfings garbed in leathers echoing the elaborate designs of the tents go about their chores. The flap is thrown open on a nearby tent, affording a glimpse of several halfing women and children crafting various works out of vividly hued beads.
