Scorched Expanse

The Scorched Expanse is a costal desert in the southern most region of central Durmista. It is a harsh environment that life struggles to survive in. Still, there are those that call it home.

Al-Badia
A nomadic tent dwelling people comprised of many clans. Each clan acts as an independent family and meetings between clans are rare. The Al-Badia navigate around the desert seasonally. They are a pragmatic and honorable people. While mostly human it is not unheard of for an Al-Badia clan to adopt another race into their family, provided that they are a burden. Not untouched by the Orcwar the Al-Badia lost several clans to the orcs, but their split and nomadic nature kept the people from destruction.

Gith Enclave
A shineing beacon in the desert that could be mistaken for a mirage, the Githzerai enclave is a tower of adamantium standing alone in the Scotched Expanse. It could only be found if the Gith wanted you to find it.

A sliver of the plane of Limbo pulled into the Prime Material Plane with magic the Githzerai can control its interior at will. Placed in Durmista a millennium ago it stands as a base of operations for the Githzerai on this world. Always standing aganst the threats of the Githyanki and Mindflayers. Many Gith were born and died in this world without ever seeing their home citys in Limbo.

Occasionally the Gith would trade with the Al-Badia. Trading supplies food and water for information on the outside world, or swapping stories of Ancestors. The Githzerai would leave their home on pilgrimages, studying the world or seeking enemies to defeat. Some seek enlightenment while other simply seek to test their skill.

Ancient Civilization
Occasionally ruins made of limestone and similar materials would be uncovered in the sand after millennia of rest. Buildings, statues, qnd pyramids all point to an ancient civilization once existing in the region. However very little is known about what happend to it and where it's people have gone.
