It is a magical, but dark and haunted place where malicious spirits roam through the twisted undergrowth and tiny darting shapes flit between the trees on the edge of vision.

It is perfectly willing to crush any that enter its borders, whether they have evil intentions or not.

Region: Dessert

Rule: Incinerating Heat

History: It is one of Loec most successful strategies to have his enemies chase his mobile army into the scorching heat of the dessert to then turn around and riddle them with arrows while they struggle to keep up the moment of their charge in the incinerating heat of The dessert of Woe, before returning to the safety of forest once again.
