The Lichen Wastes

The Lichen Waste is a massive area of desert between the Holderheck and Clandestine mountain chains. It is the largest desert on the known plane, spanning 3,600,000 miles. The region is mostly dry and barren of life, outside of cacti, insects, and reptilians life. Alek Brighton crossed the Lichen Waste while fleeing from the Dry Lich Raylor in Aramis. After many trials and tribulations, he eventually discovered Siladia.

Much of the Lichen Waste is cursed with death and necromancy, the origin of which is ancient and a debate among Midvale scholars. Some tell of an ancient civilization of unimaginable technological advances that warred with one another with weapons of immense destruction, others claim to have found evidence of a battle from space, and the more commonly accepted, less fanciful explanation, is the desert has been corrupted over the centuries by the dark magics of the Walkers of the Waste. In any event is not uncommon to discover ruins of an ancient civilization filled with zombies, sun bleached skeletons, mummies, or other horrors. The Uthgardt Clan protects the Holderheck Mountains from these dangers, serving as sentinels to guard the border should any creature wander too far.

There are a few tribes and organizations that exist within the Lichen Waste.
