Deadlands
"Smoke lulls up to a cloudy roof, blood stone jagged, haggard, powdered rocks above poison pools.
Hard beds of choking dirt and stench, a springless, dead land fire-blasted obscene and cruel."
— excerpt from The Red Sea, a Delfir poem about the center of the Deadlands. A vast desert sweeping from northern Evoria and northeastern Rerya into a red sand peninsula of devious and ancient importance. Here the dragons are said to dwell, whatever is left of them. The dragonborn and Delfir live here with their various desert animals. The land is almost entire inhospitable and deadly within minutes in certain places. A familiar and safe hub near the Deadlands is Oasis on the border of the Evorian Wasterlies. Many merchants and traders come to Oasis to deliver goods or as a way-stop to Hlee. Delicacies, grains, and fruits come to the Deadlanders from Oasis. In the second and third era, Elves from Rerya migrated to the border, preferring the dry desert to the humid forests. The elves here developed from high elves and wood elves into their own distinct ethnicity, Delfir, desert elves. These desert elves took their raptors and developed Chakaraka, a desert raptor species. At this time the dragonborn reigned, keeping to themselves and focused on honing their warcraft before sullying forth on the warpath. Their dragon gods and their king, Cryonita, ruled fiercely.
