A hot desert from the extending from the shores of the Mediterraean sea all the way inland in the area previously known as the Persian Empire. It is east of Greece and in modern times seems to be full of hostilities and strife surrounded around the ideas of who is worshiping the right or wrong gods. Over all, it isn't much different from any other place, only the sands themselves seem to keep everything in perspective. The heat of the sun is distributed across the open quaking canyons and windblown rockformations. These are home to various creatures who borrow during the day to escape the desert heat and come out at night to hunt and absorb the cooler temperatures. These beast who survive despite modern technology are crafty and monstrous enough to swallow up any who tarry long. Beyond this desert is an oasis and in the oasis is a major city which was previously the seat of this empire.
