Hooooly HEKK this was an undertaking! XD

Granted, not as long as I thought it'd be, considering that most of the locations were provided for in 's profile about the Gnolls, but it's definitely a lot! And as usual, it's getting close to my bedtime, so I'll leave here what I've gathered so far in terms of info.

Not to mention, was kinda thinking of modeling the map after the ones in World of Warcraft, but I kinda went my own direction after a certain point.

EDIT: Finished the description!!

---------------------------------

Olu-Ilu (CAPITAL) - The center of war and trade in the Savannah Kingdom, it is overseen by its ruler, Warlord Kisikuda Tbana, who has ruled for 27 years. It is here that she works hard to reform the violent tendencies of her people, the Gnolls, as well as the place where slavery was first abolished in the Kingdom. It's also famous for the truly impressive Opa-Ere tournaments it annually hosts.

Lakaaye Jungle - This is the forested area that the Ash Hide tribe calls home. They have a collective fascination for fire that borders on worship, so it is here that they live for a regular supply of wood for trade. Their settlement is distinguished by the burning fire towers that rise above the treetops, and the many lanterns all around the jungle.

Ash Hide Wastes - The previous settlement of the Ash Hide tribe. While the jungle in the area burning down could be well explained, that enormous lake of magma at the center is something of an anomaly. The Gnolls of the Savannah Kingdom believe this place to be cursed, and aren't keen on letting the Ash Hides live this down.

Lake Omi - The place where the Cracked Teeth tribe have made their settlement. Being such a large lake, it's a watering hole to a number of endemic species, many of which are quite dangerous. Particularly threatening is the enormous, eel-like Inkanyamba. However, the Cracked Teeth have gained notoriety from being able to fight them off, and STILL be able to use the river to raid other tribes.

Wura Goda Mountain - This mountain was always the landmark of the Cracked Teeth Tribe's residence. However, it was also discovered by Imperial Elvish conquerors to have a surplus of gold. Thus, inviting them to make an enormous number of Gnollish slaves mine it for them. Now, the mine is closed down, with a memorial of those who died serving the Elves' greed.

Ikooko River - The most major body of water in the Savannah Kingdom, snaking its way around the center of the Kingdom. Whoever controls this area controls the surplus of trade, hunting, traveling, and fishing. As it so happens, this is exactly how the Twisted Mane tribe came to control it, making their settlement here, and setting up the Gnollish capital city, Olu-Ilu, directly over it.

Grootslang Graveyard - The resting place of a titanic sea serpent that had invaded years ago, who was fortunately slain long ago by one of the Savannah Kingdom's oldest and greatest warlords ever. However, its remains still exist here. As do the bones of the many Gnolls and animals it has slain. Nothing lives here now. Nothing that we know of at least.

The Horror Hole - This is the place where the dead Sea Serpent's children, the Grootslang, inhabit. Nobody must go here...

Kijani Oasis - The place where the Bitter Tongue tribe had come to make their settlement. This used to be merely a stretch of grassland, almost totally devoid of life. However, the Bitter Tongues have embraced magic, and have been able to create a surplus of water here. So much so that a forest of Baobab Trees grow here, with plenty to spare. Maybe the Bitter Tongues are showing off?

The Saline Needles - The place where the Salt Fangs have chosen to make their settlement. Since the Salt Fangs were frequent victims of raids from other tribes, their paranoia had driven them to take shelter in this area, which is blocked off in many areas by the towering salt pillars that have risen from the flats. As far as they know, they're safe within the needles.

Salt Fang Mine - The Salt Fang tribe is most infamous for its enormous population of slaves, before slavery was abolished in the Kingdom. This mine used to be their main area of work, digging up truly massive quantities of salt until a spiral hole was made in the ground. This area is still mined to this day, albeit with freed workers instead of slaves.
