Osirion Wastes
The Osirion Wastes form a vast desert region, bordering the northern frontiers of the Scorching Highlands, and the western margins of the Peneree Hinterlands. The Wastes are a landscape of shifting dunes, ruins, and salt-cracked plains, long abandoned by all but the hardiest peoples.
History
1600 CE - The Al-Khetian Fracture
The death of Pharoah Queen Atenara in 1600 CE, brought about by a mysterious and unexplained illness, marked the beginning of the end of the Empire of Al-Khet. In the wake of her passing, Sethet-Ka rose to claim the title of Divine Pharaoh, but his ascension was contested and failed to unify the fracturing provinces. Without a clear succession and amid mounting internal divisions, the once-mighty empire splintered. City-states, governors, and former provincial commanders asserted their own sovereignty, giving rise to the Free Cities of Al-Khet. While they claimed descent from imperial traditions, these cities operated independently, competing for influence over trade routes, river crossings, and abandoned imperial fortresses.
