Telaris Desert
The southern region of Nerasia
The Telaris Desert is the most arid region in Nerasia. It follows the southern coast of the continent from the Flats to the Majria Mountains, and stretches north up to the Ridge, which marks the beginning of the Midlands. The Labira Islands are also considered part of this region.
Four people groups have taken up residence here: the Saritin and the Kidiesh (both inhabitants of the Kingdom of Jurro), the Telanites, and the Payeshi (Labira Islands).
Geography
To the west are the Flats: Uninhabitable wastelands of dry earth, sand, and salt. East of this are the sand dunes, where the monstrous dune hoarders make their home. Past the dunes are the fertile areas, with scattered forests situated near a deep river canyon that flows from the mountains down into the ocean.
North of the fertile areas lie the Rock Lands: beautiful natural arches, spirals, ravines, and tunnels of red stone. Southeast of the river, you will find the shepherd lands, where the Saritin herd their flocks; and further east, the oasis and crags of Telanin.
The seven islands of Labira lie south of the Flats, past difficult, rocky waters that only the best ships and sailors can navigate.
