Beyond the dormant volcano, the northern side that faces the Umbra is blanketed with a fine white sand. The sun is scorching here and the nights are frigid.

It is a treacherous place, though desert prey is highly nutritious and could give a wolf great strength and stamina. It is even said that there is an oasis or two in all that sand.
