The Claim is a mentioned-only location in Horizon Zero Dawn and Horizon Forbidden West. It is the tribal territory of the Oseram.
Geography[]
The Claim is situated north of the Carja Sundom and west of Ban-Ur, separated from Ban-Ur by a few mountain ranges.[1] The land around Oseram settlements is often barren due to their constant need for timber. It is also a very mountainous region.
Well-Traveled Aram describes the Claim as having fire-smoke hanging among tall, thin trees, with much of the ground having been dug up by Oseram looking for metal and soot everywhere.[2]
Oseram settlements are independent political entities with clearly defined territorial holdings. As such, the Oseram are a tribe of loosely-confederated clans. Their tribal capital is Mainspring, with the only other known settlement being Three Chains.[3]
History[]
The Claim was visited by Rost in his search for the twelve outlanders that invaded the Sacred Lands,[4] as well as by Well-Traveled Aram in his quest to document other tribes.[2]
Avad escaped Meridian for the Claim in order to find Ersa and make plans for the Liberation of Meridian.[5]
Trivia[]
- The gate leading to the Claim is in a mountain pass northeast of Pitchcliff.
- The Claim was intended to be an accessible location in Horizon Zero Dawn, where a quest line would take Aloy to the area, where she would "shake things up a bit", but the quest line was cut from the final game. It was something that Ben McCaw considered the coolest or biggest thing that he wished made it to the final game.[6]
- The Oseram homeland possibly corresponds to the state of Idaho and the Canadian province of British Columbia.
