36 Desert was a residence in the Badlands during Dragonhollow's Fourth Era.
The desert estate belonged to Sprankles and was named after its mailing address. It was located on the western edge of Bad Landing near the capital's Town Hall, perched on the sandy banks of a river.
36 Desert's chiseled sandstone walls inlaid with green stained glass windows enveloped a vibrant courtyard in stark contrast to its barren desert surroundings. The grassy courtyard held a variety of farms—wheat, nether wart, and sugarcane—as well as rare oak trees providing precious timber in a land nearly bereft of it. A granite and diorite path led into the depths of the villa, featuring an underground pen for livestock and horses, a zombie XP farm, a nether portal, and large amounts of storage.
Sprankles also provided a public hovel with beds, crafting tables, furnaces, and two invaluable zombie jerky dispensers that provided those in Bad Landing with the means to travel quickly with food in hand. The hovel also led deep underground to public mines open to anyone. For this reason, 36 Desert served as an unofficial Town Hall and was often frequented by visitors, which unfortunately led to bloodshed as survivors could be killed in any claim.
With this in mind, Sprankles took certain security precautions. Aside from the exterior wall, the villa was protected by two iron doors triggered by arrow-proof stone buttons and the nether portal was sealed off by a diorite shield. Nevertheless, 36 Desert was not immune to attack—skilled parkour jumpers could leap from a block of sand behind Bad Landing Town Hall and make it on top of the sandstone fortifications. Furthermore, once Hyperion obtained the only set of elytra wings in the entire Badlands, it became trivial for them to reach the courtyard.
But Sprankles' liberal open-doors policy made any direct siege counterproductive as he often invited area visitors to stay the night safely within his walls.
Retro chose 36 Desert as the backdrop for his artistic A Sprankles Sunrise time-lapse photography series showing the sun setting over the villa on 4E:424.
36 Desert was abandoned on 4E:424 when Sanctuary arrived and Sprankles joined his fellow Hollowers in getting whisked away to the unspoiled wilderness of Pandora.
