Plains of sand, stretching for what seems to be forever.
This area is immensely hot, with little to no water - if you plan to cross this, come prepared.
Fearsome creatures, such as the naga, cockatrice, and basilisk inhabit the area. Combined with additional dangers, such as a variety of poisonous snakes roaming about, the constant threat of dehydration looming overhead of those crossing, and the frequent sandstorms, this is an area commonly avoided by travelers - most merchants choose to brave the sea, rather than attempting a voyage across the desert.
That said, there are those that make their home, out here, in this harsh land.
