Country of Misbah

The Country of Misbah also known as The Country of Madness lies on the far east of Continent of Aurelia, roughly 50 miles off the coast of Harpeia. Its only populated city, Mesza is the last surviving city from long ago.
On the north side of the desert is the Northern Sands and Mesza City. On its east side, there is the Westholm Province, and the Sand Swept Buttes, a rough terrain similar to that of a mesa. Skye's Fortress is also located within the buttes, on top of a mesa plateau in the northeastern desert. On the south side lies Tutankhamen, the main capital of Misbah, and the heart of the Heretic Empire. Along the rivers, there are a few desert settlements that can be found, such as Mesopotamia. In the middle lies the Ghostsoul Borderlands, a vast basin that is controlled by the Heretic Empire. The basin is used as a prison to hold the world's most dangerous criminals after the abandonment of Barthos in Hell's Reach.
A long time ago, the desert was ruled by a very advanced civilization known as the Akkadian Empire. Long after their downfall, the Heretic Empire came to the desert and colonized it to the state we know it as today.
