Sunye Wastes

 

The Sunye Wastes is a desert region located in Lucedar. With its sweltering climate and hardy, aggressive fauna, the Wastes is not for the faint of heart. Adventurers who are well-equipped and experienced enough to traverse this area will find that it is dotted with ruined temples, cities, and valuable treasures.

Eon Gulch
A deep reaching sandstone cliff gulch with plenty of shadow and places to hide from the treacherous Sunye sun. Shrubs and greenery are plentiful down here.

The Dunes
Sand piled like mountains, rippled by dry breezes, these dunes hold little protection from the elements. Short, dry shrubs litter the less shifting areas of sand.

Lucedar's Eye
Half buried temple with a great domed roof, crafted entirely of glass and mirrors, this landmark is elusive to all but those with the sharpest of eyes. Its reflective surfaces and the many layers of sand that cover most of the temple keep it a fairly even temperature. 

Pillars of Dawn
This ancient temple built to worship the sun god Hyperion is now abandoned save for Zadehdin's habitation of the southern part of it. It was built into a cliff formation and its cavernous rooms stretch deep into the rock.

Vernal Oasis
Difficult to find among the dunes, this large oasis supports a myriad of plant and animal life.  

 

     As one of Anti's fourteen original constructs, Zadehdin was once a champion of his malicious plans. Wherever she goes, she has the ability to stir up chaos by instilling deep, inexplicable envy for others in those who are exposed to her power. After her brethren were imprisoned by the god Hel in the lava lake of the Molten Highland, Zadehin was essentially abandoned by Anti and left to fend for herself in the Sunye Wastes. Hundreds of years of solitude have given her plenty of time to consider her situation... and her allegiance. While the mere mention of her name still dredges up fear in the locals, she is significantly less dangerous than she was in her youth. She prefers to stay away from strangers due to their often violent reactions toward her, opting instead to keep herself hidden in the ruins of the Wastes. Those who discover her lair are often frightened away by her immense size and earth-shaking warning growls. While she has been known to attack aggressors on occasion, she will always give intruders a chance to run.
