The Great Desert

Child Boards
	The Raging As the Great Desert blanketed the continent, there was one area in particular that suffered severe conditions as a result. Perhaps it was the unique formation of the land. Perhaps it was the new currents of the winds. Perhaps it was magic of the foulest kind. None know the truth behind it, but there now exists a zone so dangerous to travel through. It is known only as the Raging, a place where there is constant sandstorms that reach insane speeds, carrying so much sand that the wind could shear the flesh from a man, cutting him down where he stood. No mortal life could hope to trod into the Raging and live to tell the tale.	0 Posts in 0 Topics
	Norgorth Far to the west, at the very base of the great mountain range that divides the Great Desert from the frigid lands in the north, there exists a large settlement comprised of barbarians. These savage men and women, hailing from the frozen wastelands, came here by ship, seeking a better way to trade with others and a better life than attempting to build one in the Tundra. What they found, though, was the Great Desert. Disheartened, yet not willing to surrender, the barbarians of Norgorth managed to establish a home and survives solely on the catches of fishes they make when trawling the waters, as well as bringing down great whales. At this point, the meat of such enormous beasts have come to be considered a delicacy, especially when prepared in their way; and the bones of these beasts often are used in the construction of new buildings, as it is the way for them.	0 Posts in 0 Topics
	The Sepulcher There once existed a great city, but as the desert approached, the city was lost to the sandstorms. Bearing the brunt, this city saw some of the worst changes in the Great Desert. For over a century, whenever by magic or by nature, the powerful forces of erosion wore the city down quickly, until it was nothing but ruins. It is known now, though, by the ancient catacombs that remained behind, protected by the ruins above. Named the Sepulcher, the tombs below remain untouched, waiting for adventurers and opportunists alike to defile its depths. What they find below, however, they won't like at all... For there may be great treasures, but there also lurks ancient horrors as well.	6 Posts in 1 Topics	Last post on Yesterday at 12:06:24 AM in Re: Might Makes Right by Natalya Etebari
