Tall Plains

"Tall Plains was once home to a proud ancient tribe called the Atlawa. The Atlawa were a people in tune with the rhythms of the seasons, focused on their relationship with crops, their surroundings, their gods. They've all been driven underground by Cynder and her forces, who've taken over the tribe's Shrine. I sense that's where Cynder is keeping Cyril, trying to power another crystal. You must find him before she succeeds." - Ignitus, The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning.

The fields of Tall Plains

Tall plains is a large jungle located far away from the Dragon Temple. It is a lush, green jungle situated on a massive cliff. Their inhabitants are the Atlawas, bipedal, humanoid lama beings. They live in a tribe, worship gods and tend to their large crops. Their chief is Kane. They are considered to be primitive and barbaric according to Cyril.

Description

These vast grasslands are home to the Atlawa tribe. They are scenic but dangerous, as deadly booby traps intended originally for apes and dreadwings litter the landscape. Creatures such as Stone Men and the infamous Stone Sentinel may also pose a threat to any travelers. However, the landscape is quite beautiful with its rolling hills, small grassy cliffs, deep forest groves, and other pretty features. So while dangerous, the sheer natural beauty of Tall Plains often makes visiting worth the risk.

The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning

Cyril was imprisoned on Tall Plains by Cynder, with her dark forces of apes roaming through the jungle, having captured the entire Atlawa tribe disincluding Kane, their proud chief, who was saved by Spyro. Spyro defeated the Stone Sentinel, a God who was worshiped by the Atlawas, but proved to be weak and slow, yet large and made of stone. This is where Spyro learned his ice breath.

Spyro saved Kane yet again from Stone Golems, which were smaller versions of the Stone Sentinel. After rescuing Cyril from the Stone Sentinel, they return to the Dragon Temple where the Ice Dragon teaches Spyro how to breathe Ice.
