Al-Hariq Desert

The Al-Hariq Desert is an arid region located in the central Continent. It is the largest, driest, and hottest desert in the Realm of Creation, and due to its extreme climate, the region is almost impossible to successfully cross. The desert is sparsely populated by citizens of the Ashkahara Empire and the Al-Ashkah tribes.

Description
Otherwise known as the "Desert of Heat", the Al-Hariq Desert is the driest, hottest environment in the world, consisting of miles of barren sand. It housed the largest pyramid in the world before the structure was attacked and destroyed by the Trade Federation.

Only a select few are mentally and physically capable of surviving in this desert for an extended period of time, let alone navigating through it. However, certain desert-dwelling peoples, such as the Al'Ashkah Tribes and the people of the Alsahara Empire, have successfully adapted to the environment. Nevertheless, even they can find themselves victims to common habitual afflictions such as starvation, dehydration, and skin cancer. The desert's ecosystem primarily consists of cacti, a few scavenger species such as the gila lizard, and the predatory Desert Bear.
