The Radiant Waste

The Radiant Waste is one of Orphan’s thirteen splinters. While many places on Orphan bear the scars of the war for reality, few have been as thoroughly ruined as this poisoned wasteland. It’s unknown what happened to cause this. Neither side of the war claims responsibility for this; each blames the other.
The Radiant Waste is extremely dangerous. Outside of the ambulatory city of Waste-Walker, and the few outposts at which it makes its regular stops, nothing lives there but mutated wildlife and scattered bands of raiders. Those who wish to traverse the region are wise to hitch a ride with Waste-Walker on one of its regular circumnavigations of the region.
For the most part, Waste-Walker is content to skirt the brown slopes of the Waste’s outskirts. Only once does its route takes it into the interior of the Waste—a silent expanse of broken stone and baking earth, empty but for intermittent sightings of skulking, aberrant lifeforms. This stretch, when Waste-Walker wades the shallows of the Sour Sea within sight of the ruined city of Pyre, is by far the most dangerous leg of its journey.
The Radiant Waste is linked by pharos routes to Caverndeep and Templegarden.
