The Great Desert is a vast, arid, and mostly empty landscape located in the northeastern corner of the continent.
This sector belongs to the United Cities who have their capital Heft alongside the towns of Stoat, Sho-Battai and Bark dispersed throughout the entire region.
Some main towns belonging to the United Cities are also home to the Shinobi Thieves, an asset to any aspiring thief. There are a few camps belonging to the Slavers, which act as work camps and markets of their trade.
The patrols of this region are generally composed of groups of Skimmers, Rebel Farmers, Starving Vagrants, Manhunters and Sand Ninjas.
Although the sea of dunes is a rather poor choice for most farming and settlement construction, the region is plentiful with metal and stone deposits.
Southeast of Sho-Battai is the location of the popular "Rock Bottom" game start.
