Great Desert of Araby

:For the province in Eye of the Vortex, see The Great Desert.
Great Desert of Araby is a province introduced in Total War: Warhammer II. It is located in the Southlands region in Mortal Empires. In Immortal Empires, it's been split between The Cracked Land and Araby proper.
In Eye of the Vortex, the El-Kalabad settlement is in Land of the Dervishes.
==Background==
Known by the Arabyans as the Sahra Desert, this vast plain of burning sands is sparsely populated by bedouin and Ogre tribes, who survive thanks to a scrupulous knowledge of its few oasises and watering holes. Anyone who travels through it should know the Harmattan, a dangerous wind that attracts sandstorms, being able to hide the sun for days, as well as bury the unwary under the dunes.
Such a barren province can support hardly anything, but it remains an important region to control, with the rich Gulf of Medes just to the south and the coast of Araby to the west. The master of the desert also controls its water, enabling them to avoid the sandstorms that plague this region rather than being forced to walk straight through them.
