The Wastes of Kiros
The Wastes of Kiros are a barren wasteland to the south of Tembra and contains its southernmost point. It goes on for an unknown distance, as the few foolish enough to attempt to locate its end have never returned. It is a thankless place to live, and only those who must do. Dotted across the desperate landscape, full of rocks and sand, are small tribes of those who shun society or are shunned by it. Adventurers, nomad, and explorers have all made their home in the Wastes over the years, as have monsters that are forced there, chiefly tieflings.
These settlements are, of course, minimal due to the lack of resources, and often coastal, as water is rare if not completely absent from the inland wastes. The settlements also tend to form close to the borders of the Wastes, and some even venture dangerously close to the human kingdoms of Shen, Valysera, and Meervar. These encroachments often lead to raids on both parties, usually resulting in a defeat for the waste-dwellers.
Geography
A barren desert, the Wastes of Kiros is completely void of greenery, flora, or fauna. Its heat is simply too much for anything to grow and water is sparse, save for the undrinkable water from the Sea of Good Fortune. Completely flat, the wastes are home to some rocks and burnt-out carcasses of plants and animals alike, and they warden off any fools who dare traverse the desert.
Fauna & Flora
Nothing can survive in the landscape, as evidenced by the numerous animal corpses. Some small rodents might find protection underneath a rock or through burying deep into the sand.
Natural Resources
There is plenty of sand and jagged rock, though no one can stay long enough to harvest much of any worth.
