Desert

The Desert Region, often simply referred to as the Desert, is a large area covered primarily in sand dunes. It is significantly larger than any desert in our timeline, with an area comparable to that of a moderately-sized continent.

Geography

The Desert Region is characterized by its vast expanse of sand dunes, which can reach heights of several hundred meters. The terrain is constantly shifting due to the wind, making navigation difficult for those not familiar with the region. Despite the harsh conditions, the Desert is home to a variety of flora and fauna, many of which are unique to this environment.

Inhabitants

The primary inhabitants of the Desert Region are the Sand Skimmers, a race of people who have adapted to the harsh conditions of the desert. They are known for their unique vehicles, also called Sand Skimmers, which allow them to navigate the shifting sands with ease.

Himyar Civilization

The Desert Region was once home to the Himyar, an ancient civilization that thrived in this harsh environment. They built numerous cities and structures, many of which still stand as ruins today. These ruins, along with other artifacts left behind by the Himyar, have been of great interest to scholars and archaeologists.

Exploration and Study

The Desert Region has been the subject of numerous expeditions and studies. Scholars and adventurers alike have sought to uncover more about the region's history, its current inhabitants, and the unique flora and fauna that call it home. The Sand Skimmer vehicles have proven invaluable in these endeavors, enabling explorers to traverse the treacherous sands.
