Desert

The Desert is found via Exploring, and is always the next location found after discovering the Lake.

What can Michiko tell you about the desert area.

“Ain’t much to see there, the place is almost as empty as the wasteland, at least at a first glance. Empty is a very suggestive word because several things hints at the presence of a hidden city somewhere in the desert aside from the many ant fortresses. If you are the adventuring sort you may run into Sand witches across the desert, they may or may not be helpful. Aside from them there has been spottings of a Naga or two living in there. I recommend you keep watch for traps and most of all sand traps when wandering around there, these bugs live for a chance to stick their eggs down someone’s butt. Demons like almost everywhere else also have been spotted partying in the desert.”
