Desert Plains - An endless sea of sand dunes, burnt yellow and orange by the sun. Dust storms rage across the surface, torrents of wind and dust that clog a man's mouth and nose until he chokes to death. Giant outcroppings of burnt stone confound compasses, while hot mirages play tricks on the eyes of explorers. The natives -- small nomadic bands that roam the steppe land near the Grassy Plains -- are the only ones who can find their way, and have made a small industry out of providing guides for the Dragon Slayers. The mirages are a coveted study object for illusionists. Only a handful ever return from their expeditions, but those that do have the power of the desert pulsing through their veins.
