Desolate Wilds

Description

The Desolate Wilds consists of desert wastelands and forest with corrupted black twisted trees and poisoned rivers, which spans across the western edge of the Blackflame Empire, ending with the mountain ranges that hide Sacred Valley. The only good water is in Pure Lake. A small shantytown called Refuge, a gathering place for homeless exiles and refugees, cropped up in the Wilds near the western mountain range.

It took Lindon and Yerin weeks to cross on a Thousand Mile Cloud and Sky's Mercy, so it’s fairly large.

History

Almost a thousand years ago, the Desolate Wilds were totally lawless, plagued by beasts and by wild sacred artists no better than animals themselves. Each man considered himself an Emperor, each woman an Empress, and they ruled whatever they could take at the end of a blade. But one day a woman emerged from nowhere with a shining spear in her hands. She united these rogue sacred artists under one name, killing those who resisted, and spreading law and civilization across the Wilds. For the next two centuries, while she lived, all the Wilds remained peaceful under her rule.

Inhabitants

The Desolate Wilds hosts a large population of Dreadbeasts. Humans live in sects out in the wastelands. Among these sects Five major tribes formed an alliance by the name of Five Factions Alliance. The alliance consists of : Jai Clan, Fisher Sect, Cloud Hammer Sect, Sandviper Sect and an Unknown faction.

There are only handful of Truegolds and only one Underlord in Desolate Wilds.
