Lap Sea

Now, a dried salty sea stretches across the central expanse of the desert, while the areas beyond remain largely uncharted. Many nomads of Nur consider this region their home, living alongside its coasts. The rock formations of this land are quite unique, yet few travel there to witness them— except for daring thrill-seekers who venture into the vicinity of numerous local ruins. The ground here is solid rock, sporadically covered with massive crystals. Though mostly of limited practical use, these crystals stand as markers of wealth and status among the Nur nobility, who possess the means to employ others for their extraction. These crystals also possess the potential to power vehicles, yet they can easily be substituted with a larger quantity of smaller gems. Every couple of years, nomads from across the Orange Desert gather there for some kind of festivity. It is said that on that day the sea is once again full only to be empty the next morning.
