Voiceless waste
Voiceless Waste is a desert that in on the continent Lafliuton. The western border of this land is the tallest mountain range in Lafliuton. This mountain range makes the western and northern boundary. The winds that carry the rain and moisture blow from the west and north. Creating a dry environment. Down the slopes of the mountains there a few trees but they get smaller as you reach the base of the mountains.
Once you travel east away from the mountains the land become more barren. There are three streams that flow down the mountains but in the dry months disappear. They are also known to flood every time there is a storm in the mountains, washing much dirt and sediment down past the Voiceless waste and into the Danger border. Once past the Danger border the land become more livable.
The Voiceless Waste gets its name for the fact that sound does not carry in the area. Two people could be within 25 feet of each other and wouldn't hear the other. The sound from the many plants and animals that live there is also muted. Some suspect that this is due to the rock that has shown to have sound dampening properties.
Within the Voiceless Waste the plants that grow there are very hardy and are studied by Medic Magiolgist. There are many plants that have been found to be very helpful and they continue to find more. The only times Medic Magiolgist can visit the Voiceless Waste is during the late fall, winter and early spring. After that it is to hot for people to be there. It is still extremely dangerous during those times for the harshness of the land, the many venomous aggressive animals and insects. Also the threat of flooding is constant.
Those traveling in to the Voiceless Waste have two options they can travel in from the mountains from a small village that lies near a stream closer to the top of the western part of the mountain range. The other option is from the Danger boarder town which is on the boarder to the south east of the Voiceless Waste. This village is also closer to one of the streams that has formed more into a river now. The whole village rests on the ground but when the river floods they float anchored where they are. Occasionally this anchoring system fails and the whole town is moved down stream. When that happens they wait for the flood to pass then return the village back to it's original place. These villages are very use to the many travelers that come to explore and to just see the Voiceless Waste. There is also a rescue team in place in both villages. Each year there are at least one to two deaths. One year when it was a oddly hot fall they lost 20. The shifter government that controls the area closed it off for the rest of that year.
