How about the "Plain of the Dead?" ;-)

Also, regarding the domain of nature spirits, it is most important for interactive gaming
and storytelling purposes to greatly tailor the form and features of each nature spirit to
the locale from which it is summoned. Each spirit type may offer different attributes and
powers, but even more importantly, each spirit that is summoned has the potential for
excellent story enrichment.

Describe features of its manifest form for the players, each with rich embellishments to
characterize the history of the place. The demeanor of the entity may also reflect the
history of the place, and can be expressed through speech, gestures, and attitudes,
depending on who has resided or what has taken place in the area. It is also a fun
opportunity for GM's to show off their knowledge of trivia in recognizable places.

This is the beauty of nature spirits; they are highly unpredictable and bring a great
chance to bring the fantasy elements of magic into play. Making nature spirits highly
individualized reveals the nature of shamanism and conjures up the depths of the possible
experiences that can occur in a place.
