The Burning Sands

The Burning Sands is a massive desert and the dominant feature of the island of Yamira. The desert is also home to the Dragonborn city-state of Val-Tar'guth, the capital of the Dragonborn Empire. Caravans cross the desert, bringing supplies and items of trade to the city-state, while having to brave the harsh conditions that the locale presents. The desert was also once the ruling seat of the Paraohs of the Burning Sands.

Threats of the desert range from the searing heat from the sun to the silt raider elven pirates that seek weak caravans for a quick profit, to slaver organizations that look for fresh slaves to fight in the gladiator arenas.
