Skimsands

Skimsands acts like a buffer zone between the United Cities and the Holy Nation as both sides patrol the area, the relative calmness of this area stands in stark contrast to the heated war zone in Bast. As its name suggests, is also the home to packs of Skimmers, making it harder for players to traverse the area. It's also the location of a prison, Tengu's Vault, which houses a group of Unique Recruits.

== Tips ==
* Due to high numbers of Skimmers roaming the area, players need to exercise caution when traversing the Skimsands, especially the weaker player characters. Skimmers tend to move and attack in packs, and is not uncommon travelers to be attacked by more than one group of Skimmers. 
* The Skimsands has none, if very little natural resources for players to exploit and is thus unsuitable for constructing a self-sustaining outpost. The constant presence of Skimmer packs in the area makes the Skimsands even more dangerous for would-be settlers.
== Trivia ==
* Skimsands contains a lot of Behemoth bodies.
*Despite having nests assigned to this area, the nest spawn limit is set to "0" (no nests will spawn). Presumably because the homeless Skimmers spawns are already prevalent enough.
