Estreoth/Barafet Desert

The Barafet Desert is the single largest region in Estreoth and is the western and southernmost area. The region, except for its eastern border, is completely surrounded by oceans.

The Barafet is cut off from the Ginryu Sea everywhere but at Tarcova and at its southernmost point by the Dyorian Mountains. The western coast has no such obstructions, however few cities have been constructed along the coast. The northern coast eventually merges into the Stohrym Tundra.

Due to it's massive size, and vast geological differences, the Barafet is divided into three section, the Northern, Central, and Southern. The Northern Desert is by far the most habitable due to it's lack of shifting dunes. The central however, has no permanent settlements as a result of the massive expanse of the Dune Sea. Some nomads inhabit these dunes in temporary settlements, however many nomads are hostile to non-kin folk. The southern region is considered by most to be uninhabitable by humans. Sparse rain, high temperatures, and monster creatures has led many to believe it is impossible to survive there.

The Barafet sustained the most damage during the Death Bringer's invasion of Estreoth, as the southern Barafet served as their arrival point. Due to the Legions advanced technology, they easily traversed the harshest of Estreoth's terrain and quickly attacked the northern regions. Anktolia suffered the worst as they were utterly unprepared for the assault. Some of the smaller settlements escaped the Legions assault.
