Q'uson Tapi

Q'uson Tapi was a vast salt plain in the Awl'dan that was the former bed of a now dead inland sea.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 19, US HC p.579-580 Its salt-crusted bed of clay and silt spanned for leagues with no rise or feature. The region's name was found on the oldest Letherii maps, although the words were so archaic their meaning was no longer understood.
==In Reaper's Gale==
After the Battle of Pradegar, Redmask brought the Awl army two leagues out into Q'uson Tapi to await Atri-Preda Bivatt's Eastern Army. He had the Awl construct wooden platforms above the former seabed's muck to serve as their defensive fighting positions. The Awl war leader counted on Q'uson Tapi's mud eliminating the Letherii army's ability to maneuver and reducing the effectiveness of their Heavy infantry.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 19, US HC p.
At the battle's end, Onos T'oolan and his seventy thousand White Face Barghast emerged from a stream of the Tellann Warren on the sea bed to slay any survivors.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 22, US HC p.703/706 Tellann was strong at Q'uson Tapi because of the Imass population that had lived there before the sea completely vanished. Buried beneath the silts of the ancient shoreline were stone tools, harpoons made of antler, bone and ivory, and remnants of dugout canoes. Beneath the sea bed itself were polished stones, pairs of antlers locked together, animal skulls daubed in red ochre, and countless other gifts meant to propitiate a dwindling sea.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 22, US HC p.703
