Scarsands Canyon
Scarsands Canyon is a vast and imposing natural wonder that stretches across the eastern region of Arkynshire, just beyond the tranquil borders of Duskfire Oasis. This awe-inspiring canyon serves as a solemn testament to the pivotal historical events that unfolded within its rocky confines.
It was in this location that the climactic final battle unfolded, marking the decisive end of the dreaded Twenty Year Scourge and the Draconian War. The formidable Wyrm of Chaos met his ultimate defeat within the heart of this majestic canyon, as several of his closest allies fell in battle on this hallowed ground. The echoes of that historic confrontation still linger, visible in the scarred landscape that bears witness to the ferocity of the conflict.
Each year, on Rememberance Day, the villagers of Duskfire Oasis make the pilgrimage to the site, solemnly paying tribute to the brave warriors who valiantly fought in the pivotal battle. This annual holiday stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of remembrance and gratitude in the face of adversity. In a poignant gesture of respect and reverence, the area was renamed "Scarsands Canyon" following the war, serving as a lasting tribute to the sacrifices made by those who fought and perished within its formidable embrace.
Geography
The vast and expansive canyon extends for several miles, carving through the heart of the Duskfire Desert. Unlike the iconic sand dunes of the desert, this canyon is situated within an arid, dry shrubland. The rock formations that make up the canyon are predominantly composed of sandstone, giving it a distinct and awe-inspiring appearance. This unique geological feature provided the perfect battleground for the final epic confrontation with the Wyrm of Chaos, who effortlessly reshaped the landscape during the climactic encounter.
