===40 Thieves===
A groups consisting of "40" people (number unconfirmed) that perform various illegal deeds as robbing, tomb raiding, killing and more. The members are mostly blended with the common folk and when found officially they are mostly cloaked to maintain their identities secret. When you form part of the 40 thieves you have to leave your name behind and adopt a new one as we saw with Speca when she changed her name to Dark Lady.
Their lair changes constantly as their are perused by the inquisition so they are mostly nomads that travel the desert.
===Demi-humans===
Although there are many intelligent creatures on the desert there a mostly 3 that have shown signs of aggrupation and society orientation; Hobgoblins, Lizardman and Giants.
These have their own territory inside Abagua were they live and control as they seem fit. Because of their non-human appearance they don't have the help of the Inquisition when problems arise, this changed when Ascension Academy entered the desert and helped them with their problems. They are mostly composed like a tribe and their numbers are low.
==Weather==
The Duat desert as an arid place receives nearly none rain a year. Although is a hot desert the temperature doesn't seem to be very high as people freely transverse this on a daily basis. At night usually sandstorms form themselves and they usually last until the morning.
==Ecology==
Thanks to the Eiepo River most Flora and Fauna can be sustained despite the aridity of the desert. The desert also has multiple oasis where its inhabitants settle down, thanks to the Abaguan Law it is forbidden to deny water to anyone within Abagua.

The city is build mostly from bricks and the throne room with some sort of sandstone. Near the city is a pit where the inquisition throw those that are worthy of execution.

===Ascension Academy Camp===
Gifted by Prince Ali on the annual Hart Ball to the Harts than later was gifted it to the Cross-Allied Forces hosts the students and professors of Ascension Academy and the representatives of the CAF on Duat. The camp is located on an oasis with a big water source and some smaller ponds on other areas of the camp that people use to clean themselves. The camp has 3 entry outposts guarded mostly by students and sand golems, thanks to the Abaguan law of water rights the entry to unknown people has to be authorized unless they are a danger to the camp, this has to be done with the escort of one of the camp residents. Because of the harsher conditions of the desert the camp has to suffer constant attacks of the wilderness like raptors and cockatrices, but thanks to the solid rock terrain that surrounds the camp the desert worms attacks are null. The camp has a tent for all the squads and the professors, a medical tent, a food tent and the main tent where missions and debriefs are discussed and assigned by the staff. There are 2 caves that serve as a morgue area and a ...., also a CAF area consisting of a building, an outside tent and some metal cages where its representatives operate and reside.
