A distorted map showing the location of Zanbaijin, on top of the desolate K'datha Plateau.
K'datha, also called the K'datha Plateau, is a desolate plateau located somewhere within the Eastern Steppes, where the legend of the ancient ruins of Zanbaijin that surmounted it were well-known, that many warlords and mighty Champions of Chaos were drawn to quest for its cold heights. Although said to exist somewhere to the east, the K'datha was known to shift and wane like a mirage on the horizon, and an unfavoured warrior might be driven mad or starve without ever reaching it, though it hovered on the horizon before them.[1a]
But as the Realm of Chaos waxed in power, the great plateau of blasted K'datha lay open for any that would dare climb the razor-sharp rocks of its passes to give battle in the shadow of the ancient ruins.[1a]
