Plains of Purple Dust
This northern region of the Raurin Desert is a vast wasteland of purple sand dunes, stony crags, and rocky badlands. The fine purple sand radiates faint magic—a lesser legacy of the magical energies released during the spell-battles that heralded the empire’s fall. Dozens of ancient arcane towers made of purple stone lie hidden among massive sand hills and extinct volcanic cones, and spectral mages—the undead remains of Imaskari artificers—haunt the badlands. The area is also home to dangerous predators, most notably brown, blue, and brass dragons. Several oases dot the northern edge of this desolate region, providing water and refuge for passing caravans.
