Skinner's Roam is a fairly large rocky desert territory controlled by the The Holy Nation but not actually patrolled by them until certain World States are achieved. They control multiple Holy Mines in the area, some of them abandoned, though still "claimed" by The Holy Nation. A valley between ridges in the South of the zone corresponds to the geographic centre of the Kenshi World map.
The lack of patrols in this area allows huge groups of hungry bandits to harass travellers. Wild Bulls deem it safe enough to roam the zone in large herds.
Skinner's Roam is also known for the huge dust wall that might have ruined one of the Holy Mines.
