A wide belt of dunes stretches hundreds of miles
from Urik all the way south past Altaruk, paralleling the
Ringing Mountains. Over the ages, sand washed from
the mouths of mountain canyons has accumulated into
a vast desert known as the Great Alluvial Sand Wastes.
This region walls off Tyr and the foothills of the Ringing
Mountains from the rest of the Tablelands (and the Tyr
Region in general). Although the terrain is difficult to
travel, it is not especially harsh, and tiny wells and oases
lie scattered across its golden expanse.
