Sand Sea

The Sand Sea
West of Solaria County, encompassing much, if not nearly all of the main continent, lies a sea of ever-shifting sand. Not much is known about it, as few dare to brave the harsh terrain. But historical files show that it came as a result of the last Great War, over a decade ago when a Conservator malfunctioned and went haywire during an Arena. The result was the use of a biological weapon known as the Black Cālīginum, which reduced most of Solaria to an uninhabitable desert. Travelers who have ventured through and survived to tell details have stated that 'otherworldly' powers work wickedly in the dunes, and that on more than one account it appears that 'the sand itself tries to kill you'. No scientific study held during brief expeditions have accredited any positive stake to this superstitious claim. Overall, the Sand Sea is a rugged and merciless environment.
