The Wastes of Kharun Geographic Location in Rodinia | World Anvil

The Wastes of Kharun

The Wastes of Kharun, a desolate and harsh land within the World of Rodinia, is as rich in danger as it is in lore.    
A Land Forsaken
The Wastes of Kharun stretch far and wide, a testament to the harshness of nature and the cruelty of fate. It is a land where life clings stubbornly to the few oases that dot the landscape, and where every creature is both hunter and hunted.  
The Savage Inhabitants
Orcs and goblins, the fierce children of the Wastes, have carved out a life amidst the desolation. Their tribes are a whirlwind of conflict and survival, honed by the relentless environment to become as unforgiving as the land itself.  
Marlek's Dark Influence
The lich Marlek's presence permeates the Wastes, his dark magic seeping into the very soil. The air carries the echo of his power, and the fog that rolls across the land is a tangible reminder of his eternal watch.  
Oases: Pockets of Life
Scattered across the Wastes are oases, rare havens of greenery and water. These precious pockets of life are fiercely contested by the inhabitants, and many a blood feud has been fought over their control.  
The Climate's Cruelty
With days that can flay the skin from bone and nights that freeze the soul, the climate of the Wastes is an unending trial. Sandstorms rage with the fury of the lost, and the malevolent fog chills deeper than the coldest night.  
A History of Despair and Power
The history of the Wastes is a tapestry woven with threads of despair and ambition. From the fall of the Empire of Elam to Marlek's transformation into a lich, the land has been shaped by the powerful and the desperate.
