Shifting Sands

The nation is located in a desert region, with hot, dry conditions and limited natural resources. Despite this, the people of Padsin have learned to adapt to their harsh environment, and have developed a number of innovative techniques to sustain themselves. The desert landscape is dotted with small towns and villages, which are connected by a network of trade routes. These trade routes are used to transport goods and resources between the towns and the monasteries and are also used by travelers from other parts of the world. 
 The desert region is home to a number of unique and fragile ecosystems, which are protected by the people of the nation. These ecosystems include oases, which are vital sources of water and life in the desert, and sand dunes, which are home to a number of rare species. The people are deeply connected to their natural environment, and work to preserve and protect it. 
 The monasteries are located throughout the desert region, and are the spiritual and cultural heart of the nation; and are home to a diverse array of monks who come from all walks of life.
