Blasted Lands of Azura
Once the Western Azura Desert was the pride of Ossyria. Many temples and shrines were built here to the Ossyrian Pyramid and their God-Kings of Ossyria. However, in the center of it all lies the Foundation Pillar - Me'at'Ilimmu and it was central to the actions that Setkuteth took. The high cleric sought the become the Mummy King, using the powers of the Foundation Pillar. He brought devastation to the whole world, starting the Ascension of the Mummy God event. It was his own people that stopped him and upon his death, the powers of the pillar were activated, destroying thousands of kilometers of land around it. Whole cities were buried under the sand, untold thousands died and Ossyria fell, divided into many smaller nations. Now, the Blasted Lands is a constant reminder of hubris, of those that seek the power of gods and do not know how to wield it, as well as the dangers of the Foundation Pillars. Many seek treasure here, as a lot of gold, riches and magical items are still buried under the sands. However, the constant sandstorms make these endeavors hard but at the same time, guards the desert against the Vespera Hive.
