~Basic Information~

The great wasteland.

The desert is really nothing more than a pile of sand accompanied with scorching heat during the day and bitter conditions of wind and ice during the nightime hours. Rain, when it rarely comes, is dangerous, flooding the world in a rush of long forgotten rivers, and sweeping up everything in its path.

It is a huge expanse, stretching over most of the inner land in Jurgen, with more favorable conditions surrounding it on all sides. What is very little known, however, is that deep beneath the soil, Flaqnog is a giant lake. However, there is no way to tap this source, so all people can do is wish.

Towards the east, there is a slight cooling of the mountains, and the mnesas and plateaus of the desert begin to shoot up. It is here that the dragons and other animals tend to make their home - running about the dirt surfaces and basking in the cool shade.

~Settlements~

There is a fairly large sized ruffian city which exists near a long term well on the very eastern side of the desert. This city is almost a pleasure town (much like Las Vegas). Very little rules apply to anyone here. What comes to this city, tends to stay in this city.

Brawls and violence are common, and fights over water are extreme, though no where near those of fermented drinks. Its dangerous for most to venture here, unless they know just how to play their cards, so to speak.
