The deserts of Essyrn are a beast in themselves. Strong winds shape the changing sandy mountains, sculpting rock and people in it's path. Though the sacred and mysterious
Seraj Isa appears to be another beast all together. Unphased by winds, her landscape barely changes, only on the outskirts where black sands mingle with white, causing a grey area of dunes that moves in and out above the glass surface like slow moving ocean tides.
In this area, most avoid, believing phantoms roam and ghosts from unspeakable pasts. Others actually make a journey here to throw the bones of the dead, believing this is meant to be man's final resting place where the land of the Gods meet the land of men.
So bones are not uncommong as the grey sands rise and wane, but other strange things offer many juicy tales of the great times of the past. Some say an Oasis, and a river that bore the Niafi once snaked through here, feeding the former civilization before the Gods claimed and made teh sands into glass. It's anyone's guess what lay beneath the thick, glass surface, for all that can be seen is black. But anywho tried to adventure here had never returned.
