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. 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 have fire-smoke hanging among tall, thin trees, with much of the ground having been dug up by Oseram looking for metal and soot everywhere.[1]
Oseram settlements are independent political entities with clearly defined territorial holdings. As such, the Oseram are a tribe of loosely-confederated clans. The Oseram tribal capital is Mainspring.
History[]
The Claim has been visited by Rost in his search for the twelve outlanders that invaded the Sacred Lands,[2] as well as by Well-Traveled Aram in his quest to document other tribes.[1]
Avad escaped Meridian for the Claim in order to find Ersa and make plans for the Liberation of Meridian.[3]

- The Oseram homeland possibly corresponds to the state of Idaho and the Canadian province of British Columbia.
