Bone Barrens
The Bone Barrens is a wasteland a couple miles north of Helivus, it is littered with the remnants of a great siege, armor, weapons, bones, corpses, old banners of factions that no longer exist. The ground is polluted with gore, human carnage tainting the remnants of a bloody siege. This area is controlled by the Fangs of Merrshaulk, a gang of Yuan-Ti, who typically scavenge the area for items to use in rituals, or to capture travelers who mistakenly made their way into these wastes. People that enter here get a sharp feeling of death, sometimes getting visions into the horrors that took place here, as the Siege of the Dragon Captain was one of the bloodiest battles in the war, the remain (literally and figuratively) are still remnant even after the 9 years since the battle took place.
"The ground polluted floats with human gore,
And human carnage taints the dreadful shore
Fly swift the dangerous coast: let every ear
Be stopp'd against the song! 'tis death to hear!"
Fauna & Flora
The beings that populate the Bone Barrens are primarily Rust Monsters and Yuan-Ti, these being affiliated with the Fangs of Merrshaulk. Vultures also populate this area, as there are plenty of travelers that come here, get lost, and die in result of a dust storm.
Natural Resources
As mentioned previously, this place is littered with shitty used armor and weapons, tools of war, making it a great place for scrap collecting, or general scavenging.
History
This wasteland used to be a beautiful rolling stretch of plains with a fortress controlled by Rhogar Baharoosh, the Dragon Captain of the Wilt, as a sort of home base for his troops. During the Snotelek Wars (1624-1629) the Forces of Gladioli and the Delphinium Coalition laid siege to this fortress, destroying it and the land around it, but Rhogar was able to escape somehow.
