Ramaal Mutaharika - The Shifting Sands

Geography

The Shifting Sands is one of the largest Bleeds in Alvez, a seemingly endless sand desert stretching from the Mor Kreizdouar in the West into the uncharted distances of the East. A result of its vast, inhospitable nature and its constantly changing magical properties, the region has never been properly explored, but certain routes and points of interest remain known and relatively stable.
The entire region is covered in sand dunes, reaching heights of 500 meters tall, interspersed with dry lake beds, salt flats and low lying gravel plains. The sand typically has a reddish-tan colour, but darker reds and browns are found throughout.
The largest city within the region is Iram of the Pillars, a magnificent Djinn-constructed city deep in the desert, famed for its wealth and lush oasis.
Mount Qaf, a floating emerald island and home of the Djinn, travels the deepest stretches of the desert.

Fauna & Flora

The desert is home to several arachnid species, such as scorpions, as well as small rodents and snakes. The largest predatory mammal in the region is the cheetah. Oasis scattered throughout the region attract larger biodiversity, including hippopotamus and water buffalo.
Several tribes of Djinn reside deep in the desert.
