Civilization and Culture

History

Once a major hub of trade and danger, the Obsidian Desert become home to a group of elves that found abundant mineral resources buried in the desert. Their explorations lead them to a massive oasis near the center of the sandy wasteland. The grand Elven Citadel-City of Malkorlith was built there and was at one point a major trade stop through the desert. After the destruction of the elven empire, those that remained formed nomadic tribes that now wander and survive in the harsh waste.
