Welcome to Desolate
Desolate is a barren wasteland with pockets of civilization. The world once resembled Earth, which I am sure you are familiar with, with its prosperous human population.
The world is mostly comprised of dry desert, known as the Forlorn. The Forlorn is an incredibly dangerous place to travel. Sandworms, Giant Scorpions, Elementals, and Bandits dominate the terrain and will attack anything that has a pulse. Because of this, there is no permanent civilization throughout the Forlorn.
Permanent civilization can be found in the woodlands that surround the mountain ranges that scatter Desolate. Massive mountains spring up from the Forlorn and can be seen for hundreds of miles. The most famous range is known as The Highland Mountain Range. For this reason, the Eastern nation of Desolate is known as The Highlands. The East is home to the wealthiest citizens of Desolate and, as one might guess, is where the governing force of the world resides.
The West also has a similar landscape of mountain outcrops surrounded by woodlands, however, the mountain ranges are scattered into three sections; The Cessations, The Soaring, and The Bantam. Each range holds their own cities, towns, and encampments.
There are monsters that loom the mountain ranges of Desolate and, much like that of the Forlorn, do not show mercy to travelers.
Desolate is a dangerous world, riddled with hatred and racism due to past events. Its landscape is unforgiving and creatures dangerous. Those born here are sure to have struggles at all periods of their lives.
