Kar Kadash

The Kar Kadash is the largest of the arid endorheic basins, or kars, of the Kesh Karkhan. It is situated in eastern Shiankar, bounded by Jyord’s Anvils to the north, the Kirga Massif to the east and southeast, and the Tuzul Massif to the west. The easternmost part of the Mountains of Thundering Flame form its southwestern rim. The parched, inhospitable expanse of the Kar Kadash is scored with fissures and gulches, rippled with chains of low dune-like hills, and dotted with occasional clusters of mesas or rock spires. The central (and most inhospitable) part of the basin forms the forbidding Kiln Desert. 
The Kar Kadash is a wild and uncivilized place; parts of it are under the control of an impermanent and ever-shifting assortment of Daare Karsha tribal chiefdoms, and parts are the domain of giants and other dangerous creatures.
Etymology: “Kadash” means “thirst” in old Tuvai; the name Kar Kadash is best translated as "the wasteland of thirst" or "the desolation of thirst."
