Nemthraz
In the center of the massive continent of Aetrus lies the vast Nemthraz desert. This sun scorched landscape is all but desolate, with a few pocket paradises around thriving oasis. The ruins of the ancient Osirian people can be found buried beneath the dunes as a testament to their once great civilization, but even those who call the desert home today know not what became of these ancient people.
