Blood Desert (Eru Yor)

The red desert lands of the Kingdom of Yngoldis that stretch far to the north of Ra'azum and all the way west to Tawar-Nur.

Inhabitants

The inhabitants of the Blood Desert are the Janati, goblins, giant scorpions, some few elves, mining dwarves, and there are rumors of djinn.

Description

The Blood Desert is so called because of the red tint to the soil and mountains due to the high levels of iron. There is also plenty of granite, and precious minerals, such as gold. These earthy resources add a nice feature to the Kingdom of Yngoldis and is a great reason why it was claimed by the Efrishar who colonized this area as well as the elves they displaced.

The central area of the Blood Desert is known for its shifting sand dunes and intense heat. The temperatures can reach upwards of 120 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and drop significantly at night. Despite the harsh conditions, the Blood Desert is home to a variety of unique flora and fauna adapted to survive in the harsh environment.

The Janati, who are a nomadic tribe of humans, are known to traverse the Blood Desert with their caravans in search of resources and new trading opportunities. The dwarves also have established mining operations in the Blood Desert to extract the valuable minerals and metals found in the area.

The Blood Desert is a treacherous place, and those who venture into it are advised to be well-prepared and equipped for the harsh conditions. However, for those brave enough to venture into the Blood Desert, it can offer great rewards in terms of resources and treasures.

Area

It ranges from the northern borders of the Kingdom of Yngoldis, where the land starts to roll with grassy hills and sparse trees, to the waterline of the Bay of Londfolas. From the east, it starts at the sea and follows all the way through until it hits the lands of Tawar-Nur. The western side of the Blood Desert can have heavy rain falls, causing that area to be extremely muddy at times, as well as being prone to flooding and mudslides.
