West Sahlabao Desert
The western side of the southern desert, this is where the Sahlakah make their home. They are fairly self sufficient and have little trade for necessities, sending out goods to Oasum to buy more leisurely amenities. Slave trade is rife here, and it isn’t uncommon to see bands of Sahlakesh slavers attacking and kidnapping travellers in the area, selling them into slavery.
The capitol, Sahlakaoleh, sits on the border between the east and west side of the desert. There are three other, smaller settlements: Balao, Saha'la and Shalao.
Geography
The western side of the Sahlabao Desert is much rockier than the eastern side. It's still mostly sand, but not with dunes to the extent found in The Sand Sea, especially in the northern region which is mostly hard, dry sand and stone leading into the Sahlak Mountains. Sahlabao's Bluff forms the eastern border, cutting this region off from the East Sahlabao Desert. South of the region is Sashakar and to the west you'll find Enuthia (The Deadlands).
The western side of the desert is governed by High Chief Kalamin , one of the faces of the The Sashakarn Oligarchy. The region is mostly home to Sahlakah and a subspecies of Pogonians, but you'll find any mortal race living here as slaves to the wealthy.
