Sand Elf


Surrounded by the Gemfire Mountains, the Velaka Desert lies in the northwestern reaches of Therengia. It is split nearly in two by the Hekemhhg River and salty Lake Ratamipak. The desert is a harsh land with shifting sands, and is the home of several hamlets of the Sand Elves, as well as the Outcast Tribes.

The desert itself is so hostile that visitors must travel via the Sand Barges which journeys between Hvaral and Muspar'i. However, with enough skill, the seasoned traveler may choose to cross the desert on foot, provided they carry plenty of water and wear the proper attire for protecting themselves from the heat of the desert sun. Sand spiders, Mottled Westanuryns, Slavers, and Zombie Nomads all pose threats in the region. However, only the sand spiders are known to routinely threaten travelers along the Trade Route.

Within the desert are seven areas known as Rock Circles which tend to be gathering places for the slavers. Within one of the circles can be found the mysterious Walk of Bones where the undead are drawn.
