A large, dry, desert that encompasses most of the Southern Empire. Ironically, in many places it sprinkles often, but the desert is so dry and warm that the rain evaporates nearly as soon as it hits the ground. While slightly less dry than most deserts, it is a desert. Dangerously warm days and terribly frigid nights plague the land, and sandstorms with man-skinning capabilities are oft to appear. The treacherous conditions cause many to avoid it, but multiple cities have managed to flourish in the horrid conditions.
