Balar

Sure, Teredea was mostly levelled during the battle of The Descent. But there remain ruins, a history to uncover. The Balar, the great dune sea, is the true scar left by Araan.

Geography

A massive sandy desert, the Balar is a sea of dunes stretching from Teredea to southern shores of Kal'Araan. Almost the entirety of the Balar is nothing but scorched rocky formations and sand dunes. Dust storms ravage the dunes by night, while blistering sun heats the sands by day.

Fauna & Flora

Very few creatures are able to survive the heat and lack of vegetation of the Balar. However, it is home to some of Kal'Araan's largest beasts, purple worms. Other than worms, Ankhegs and Rocs prey on the few animals and lone travelers that wander the dunes.
The only officially settled area in the Balar is the city of Roguecall. This, due to the lack of natural resources, has resulted in the Balar being unclaimed nearly in whole by any one nation.

Natural Resources

The sand of the Balar is unique in it's result from dragon's breath, resulting in it making extremely fine glass when processed. Resilient to heat and completely translucent, Balarian glass is the largest use of the Balar's resources. Some sand-swept mines still exist throughout the desert, but have long been since abandoned.
