Ashuran Desert

The Ashuran Desert is a vast region that covers a huge portion of the Erúme Province of the Aurlûnor Velande, a small portion of Sneedistan in the Aesperium Niedea, and a medium portion of the Ostrehèmme Province in the Bardonian Empire. As the largest desert in Syltör, a few oasises exist in the region, and serves as the home to the various Dune Elven tribes that dwell within its borders.

At one point the Ashuran Desert was green and lush, with much of it being consisted of lush forests, jungles and wetlands. The foundation of the Dominion of Ashura changed this, as they would build four obelisks to turn the area into a dry, desert land, suitable for habitation for the Dune Elves. Many extinct species' remains remain buried in the sands, with evidence of marshes and jungles in fossils or debris in the sand. The Ashuran Desert to date, remains the largest man-made desert in the world, and is the first in history to have climate change happen by the hands of an evolved species. However, not all of the Ashuran Desert is a complete sandy wasteland, as some of the cooler parts are in the savannas where there is acacia trees and multiple minor rivers that flow through the area.
