The Crimson Canyons

Written by Yerran

The fine sand of the Sabal’Har Desert flows right up to the huge mesas and stacks of the crimson canyons and offer travellers some respite from the sun in the shade of its valleys. Though to let your guard down would be folly, for dangers lurk throughout the canyons and atop the mesas, whether wild monsters or small settlements of organised locals. Even the lush oases that appear at the bottom of the canyons hide predators who await those that come to drink. Whatever your business in such a place, it should be quick and cautious, for it is no place to linger and if you seek to pass, for titan's sake, do not wander from the marked path.

The Red Ushad, a small nation of the The Free Cities calls these canyons home and consists mostly of exiles and escapees from other nations. The canyons offer a perfect environment for hiding, ambushes and easily defensible positions. Positions that The Red Ushad took advantage of in the early years of its founding. Originally, founded as freedom fighters from the escapees and continually battling with the growing Sabal, eventually it became powerful enough to be recognised as its own state rather than just a rebellious part of Sabal. As it became more official The Red Ushad's power waned as those of the cities of Saltfort and The Red Refuge gained their own strength and began to deal with other nations and cities privately. But make no mistakes, The Red Ushad still house a sizeable force throughout the canyons that act as guides, trackers and hunters as well as dozens of members in positions of power and religious roles. Their headquarters lies at its centre in 'Dawn's Watch', an ancient monastery constructed by the orders' founders and many regular citizens are still devoted to their teachings and way of life.
