The Eyra Desert is the largest Territory in Eyra Province and many consider it to be the wildest, harshest region of The Frontier. The area has its own microclimate of hot, humid days and cold nights that never seem to change across all seasons.
Miles and miles of sand carry on for eternity, occasionally broken up by rocky outcrops, ragtag nomad settlements and small patches of greenery. Only the strongest, the bravest and people with a death wish try and make a life in The Eyra Desert.
Local folklore
The Eyra Desert has a reputation for being the domain of the pyromancers of the Myra witch clan. A proud and fierce clan, the Myra have lived a nomadic lifestyle for centuries, trading goods with whoever fits their preferences at the time.
The harsh existence of The Eyra Desert means people living there can’t afford to be too judgemental and there is more tolerance of magic. As a result, the shanty town communities that pop up are often frequented by criminals, outliers and supernatural creatures who’re determined to escape persecution at the hands of The Administration and the Questers.
Besides the stories of the Myra, other tales focus on the sand storms that appear without warning and have been known to wipe out settlements in minutes.
Wildlife
The animals and monsters that live in The Eyra Desert have adapted to the extreme conditions. Buzzards, vultures, coyotes and scorpions are just as common as dune snakes, goliath worms, sand ghouls, colossus ants and more.
