Often mistaken for salt flats, this sprawling wasteland is actually a desert. Very little life is able to grow here, but far out into the wastes there are tribes of ogres.
The desert is dry and sandy, with patches of dry clay and bedrock forming patches in the golden dunes. Clumps of malformed cacti dot the landscape and provide just enough nutrition to keep a low population of animals alive.
Typical animals surviving in the desert include small fennec foxes, hares, mice, rats and reptiles. Mammals rarely venture out during the day due to the heat so it can often seem as though the desert is dead.
Ogres also live far to the South. These beings are also part of the noctural life of the desert. They live in the caves formed in the jagged rocks unearthed by shifting dunes. There are no major cave systems nor large villages. Passers-by or explorers can usually spot the tell-tale signs of residense though by the collections of objects outside cave entrances. Whether they be unused weaponry or broken carts that have been scavenged, they are interesting and therefore collected by the orges.
