The Dryness

Region:
Red Xoros
Type:
Zone

The Dryness is a believed to have been a sea once. Now sandy gales erode the moss-covered bones of coral. Geomancers speculate that the area was inundated with water for millions of years but some cataclysm caused it to boil away very quickly. The patterns and flowings of the seas shift over aeons, but the Dryness was made dry in a matter of days, perhaps hours.

Heretical scholars posit that the water was not removed, as no known force could boil an entire ocean away so quickly. Instead they believe it was absorbed into the earth beneath it, where it still persists in a millenia-long struggle, in the deep cryptical arteries of stone against some everlasting thirst, to one day return to its rightful home on the surface.
