Niil'vrai'kiin Jo'saahish
The Vraii'jashuk call this desert a majestic place. And sure, the desert must have its majestic qualities, but we must never forget that we are not Vraii'jashuk. For common devils like us, in this place, the word majestic refers to the mirages we see before the desert claims us.
Keep in mind, for every single Vraii'jashuk that calls this wasteland home, 1000 devils have died attempted to call it home as well.
— Haniisa Gahiis, "The Majestic Mirage of Gluttony"
There is no place on Infernus that is harder to survive in than Niil'vrai'kiin Jo'saahish, the Great Niil'vrai'kiin Desert. With temperatures that give testament to the realm's nickname "The Inferno," the desert is an inhospitable wasteland that only the truly daring or foolish would enter. Flora is scarcer here than anywhere else in the Realm, and water is a luxury with the desert receiving, on average, only about 1/4 of an inch of rain. Oasis are far and few. Demons and fiends here are amongst the most terrifying of those found in the Realm. And although the desert is the most hostile environment for life in the Realm, there exists a sole group of devils that have proven that survival is indeed possible. The Vraii'jashuk, a nomadic and traditional group of devils that made their way of life in the desert for thousands of years.
