Sea of Sand

The Sea of Sand is a large, continuous desert province located within the eastern areas of the Dead Sands. It is, easily, the largest province of the entire region and perhaps one of the largest single provinces in the entire world. Its namesake comes from its size and geography, the whole area being comprised of sandy desert dunes that seem to never end - just like the sea itself. The Sea of Sand is known to be one of the harshest and most difficult areas of the Dead Sands. The heat is particularly intense here and reliable water sources are virtually non-existent.
Due to its sheer size and the unforgiving environment, the full Sea of Sand has never been accurately mapped. However, it is known that small villages and camps dot the province, somehow managing to survive from a combination of scavenging and the limited amount of trade and travellers that find their way to them. These villages are not governed by a Carrion King or centralised government in any way, instead governing themselves and creating their own laws. In some cases, this has led to bloody anarchy but in others it has led to friendly collectivist societies.
The Sea of Sand is also known for its above-average presence of old ruins and monuments. Many of them are believed to belong to Those Who Came Before, but research has been limited at best due to the location of these places. This still doesn't stop many archaeological societies, private companies, and adventuring parties from braving the desert though, in an attempt to learn about these mysterious places - or just plunder whatever is inside.
Due to the intense environment, it is to no surprise that most animal species seem to avoid spending long periods of time in the Sea of Sand - even in a region where most species have evolved for desert life. However, there are still some creatures that call this place home, particularly predatory and scavenger species. Sand worms, for example, are known to favour the vast sandy terrain and relative isolation for breeding practices.
