Sekhet Desert

As one reaches the southern edge of the plains, the landscape gives way to less and less vegetation. When prickly bushes and a lack of water becomes apparent over sandy soil, one knows they have reached the Sekhet Desert. While there are hardy grasses that will grow here, they are generally unpleasant. Water is mostly derived from the cup-like leaves of some of the more friendly cacti. It does rain here at a relatively normal rate, but the sandy soil seeps any excess moisture away in mere minutes. A large lake can be found at the border of the Snake Ridge Mountains, though its ownership has been disputed for generations and risking a drink there can lead to conflict.
