Verastanian Wasteland

= The Verastanian Wasteland = The Verastanian Wastland, also known as the Scorching Moon Wasteland, is located in the south-east of Onthukhan, Eldham. The entirety of the desert is located inside Oceanum a state within the Southern Stars Federation and Kumura. The area is characterized by its flat terrain. With the only notable mountain reaching 75 metres.

Most common types of soil include Red Sand, Red Sandstone and Coarce Dirt. The Wasteland is surrounded in South and East by the Sea of Fire. No other natural bodies of water exist in the region, however man made aqueducts are present.

History
At the beginning of 2022 the region was fully controlled by Othmyrr. At that time no mayor cities, structures or studies existed in the region. After the collapse of Othmyrr the Wasteland was divided between the People's Republic of Sotrania and Oceanum. While during this period no developments have been made in the Oceanumite part, large plantations of spices were made on the Sotranian side. However as one might expect, creating a farm in a literal wasteland was a mistake and the plantation was abandoned soon after. Following the creation of the farm all plants and animals existed in the peninsula part of the island were expelled.

After the June crisis, Sotrania was split between Oceanum and Glanra. With the region soon becoming split between Oceanum and Kumura, with the mountains becoming the border. The region saw the largest amount of development during this time with the construction of Kumura City and expantion of Kythnos into the desert with the creation of the Moonlight Sanctuary. The large urban expansion caused the wasteland and its creatures to move west fully destroying to city of Kronox and destroying several nearby ecosystems. It is currently unknown how the region managed to move.

Flora
The Wastland is a home to several plant spiecies such as: Flor Vermiculi Deserti, the imported Shukamagukan Orchid, Oriataun Cacti and the Dark Oak.

Fauna
With the desert being such an unforgiving environment, just a single known animal species inhabits the area, the Desertum Rosa Vermis.
