The Land
The land is a desolate, ashy highland plateau, with few settlements. Most of the country is covered with ash, with the only acceptable areas being the mountains, and a less hostile southern part, supplying the north with food.

The hostile climate practically turned the region into a barren desert. Some place have a precipitation of less than 180mm per year.

The only rivers flow in the south creating a salt lake, and the rest is desert.
