Fertile Crescent

The Fertile Crescent is a prosperous grassland province located in the western part of the Dead Sands, also known as the Red Land. It's namesake comes from a combination of its crescent-like shape but also the fertility and prosperity of the land. Unlike much of the rest of the Dead Sands, the Fertile Crescent is vibrant and full of life. The soil here is nourished and perfect for agriculture. And the climate is not overbearingly or dangerously hot. Indeed, out of all the provinces of the Dead Sands, the Fertile Crescent is perhaps the greatest of them all - it's inhabitants certainly believe so.
Due to being such a prosperous province, there are many settlements dotted across the landscape. The capital of the Kingdom of Babilim, Karduniash, is perhaps the most notable city, but many smaller villages and even several large towns have also been built here. Nevertheless, the Fertile Crescent still has a huge frontier of wild savannah grassland. These savannahs are home to many unique species are a popular spots for tourists, academics, and hunters.
Though there are some smaller kingdoms that claim isolated parts of the province, the Fertile Crescent is truly dominated by the Kingdom of Babilim. This nation controls an overwhelming majority of the mainland and all of the areas major towns and cities. The only other notable kingdom, Citium, is located on a small island off the coast that shares the kingdom's name. As well as the Carrion Kingdoms, small bands of bandits, outlanders and poachers also live out in the frontier, where they must content with the local wildlife.
Many of the species found in the Fertile Crescent are only found here or are, at the very least, incredibly rare everywhere else. These species include elephants, leopards, and rhinos.
