The Drylands
While the ice and snow of The Northern Wastelands have engulfed the northern portion of Percens, to the south the temperate lands of the world give way to the ever shifting sands of The Drylands. This region is just as inhospitable as the snowy Wastelands to the north, only instead of ice and snow constantly barraging travelers, it is sand storms and suffocating heat that one needs to be wary of in The Drylands.
There are several nomadic tribes that make the region their homes, constantly moving from oasis to oasis. These permanent locations house underground springs and have sprouted more permanent encampments which the nomads trade with as they travel the area. There are even rare times when these tribes have migrated north to trade with the other people of Percens, although those incidents are few and far between.
Mentions of The Drylands are found in some of the most ancient historical tomes on record. These include accounts of these nomadic tribes, so their culture and civilizations are some of the oldest in Percens. As such, scholars, mages, and adventurers alike often trek to the region to try and uncover the ancient secrets of the region. Many feel vast riches are waiting to be uncovered by those heroic enough to brave the dangers of the vast sands and mysterious creatures that make this region their home.
