Xendar (Zen-dar)
The hot and barren deserts of Xendar are abundant in three things: sand, magic, and ancient ruins. It is a place hostile to plants and animals, that lures those outside with the promise of wanderlust and treasure. Rare magical artifacts and technology are uncovered in many of the ruins, and many impossible sights are said to be seen by daring adventurers. Some say Xendar was formed from the aftermath of an ancient civilization’s catastrophe, and others say the numerous ruins are but a byproduct of the high concentrations of magic nearby–like the Wildlands of Kerrios.
Whatever the case, Xendarians either have a natural affinity with magic or have a strong resilience to such a hostile environment–or more often than not, both. As such, all Xendarians receive the following benefits:
You have a +1 bonus to your Intelligence score.
You have Proficiency in the Arcana Skill.
