Scorched Wastelands

The expanses of fields and meadows, the sweet water and cool breezes fade and die if they dare approach this land. After stepping over the threshold of life and warm landscapes, it is like a different world altogether. Void and barren, stepping over the bordering mesas at first reveals only burning sands and ancient petrified trees. The mesas and distant mountains produce the rain shadow effect, making the land lose much precipitation, and at the same time barring many winds from reaching this wasteland. Not long ago, two suicidal Downfall battles were fought here, and the sand-eroded bones are occasionally seen among the dunes. The only reconciliation that can be found is in the middle of this desert, where a large stream flows from the borders. Plant life is supported here, but even in this semi-utopia in the barrens, multiple perilous tar pits dot the landscape.
