| ===== Storms and Rainfall ===== | ===== Storms and Rainfall ===== | ||
| - | Due to the unpredictable movement of the Ur-Kal-Dûhn, especially The Stormbringer, storms are chaotic in their frequency. Sandstorm are common, ranging in power from mild annoyance to flesh stripping fury. Rainfall is often short-lived, but exceptionally intense when it occurs, dropping feet of rain in minutes, giving rise to flash floods. Rainfall often occurs in the Ahket mountains, flowing through the Riven Hills, and then overflowing the Sobek river basin, which is a key part of life and survival in the desert. The heavy rainfall can, at times, create horrific flash floods that can sweep away even the hardiest of creatures to a painful death. Some creatures, great amphibians chiefly among them, come out during the floods to feed and breed. Plantlife takes advantage of the floods to store significant water. What doesn’t get siphoned off by the cities or life in general, ends up in the great Benben salt marsh. | + | Due to the unpredictable movement of the Ur-Kal-Dûhn, especially [[The Stormbringer]], storms are chaotic in their frequency.

| - | A series of volcanoes on the southeastern edge of the Akhet Mountains, thought to be the resting place of the White Whale, or “Duat Hedjet” in Elven, often seen in the sky surrounding the area. The volcanoes are active and are often seen spewing ash, though rarely, in recent memory have they erupted. Some Mokattam are known to practice feats of bravery and discovery in the area as a rite of passage to earn a place among the Elders of their race. | + | A series of volcanoes on the southeastern edge of the Akhet Mountains, thought to be the resting place of the White Whale, or “[[Duat Hedjet]]” in Elven, often seen in the sky surrounding the area.

| ==== Karanda ==== | ==== Karanda ==== | ||
| - | Ancient homeland of the Humans, per legend, on the other side of The Salt March. It was last known to exist roughly 2000 years ago, about the time when Humans first settled in the Sobek River Basin at New Karanda. No contact has been made with Karanda since then, although rumors periodically surface of a Karandan surfacing at various locations, it has never been proven to still exist. Most suspect that either it was also destroyed during the breaking, or is just so remote on the other side of The Salt Marches as to be impossible to reach. | + | Ancient homeland of the [[Humans]], per legend, on the other side of The Salt March.

| ==== New Karanda ==== | ==== New Karanda ==== | ||
| - | Former human settlement on the edge of the Sobek River Basin, now desolate, but home to various denizens without a formal home. Destroyed during the breaking by the fury of the Stormbringer, due to insufficient structural integrity of their buildings. Shortly after the destruction of New Karanda, the Elves left the Sobek River Basin for Myth Celestia, and New Karanda was abandoned by the human, who fled to the meager protection of the tri-cities of the Sobek. Plans are routinely made and abandoned by various races to reclaim New Karanda. | + | Former human settlement on the edge of the Sobek River Basin, now desolate, but home to various denizens without a formal home.

| - | The largest of the three cities, and home to all races of earth, though principally Humans. Unarith holds the seat of the five ruling families the Ozun, Vora, Mara, Rinehart, and Burgess and is the closest to a capital of the Humanoid realm.
