Lato Odhan

The Lato Odhan was a desert on the central part of the continent of Seven Cities. It was bordered on the south by the Ubaryd Odhan and to the west by the Mersin River. The Odhan itself was named after the city of Lato Revae.
Thousands of years ago it was once fertile plains and forests, but the cities lining the Mersin River practised intensive irrigation, drawing the river's waters out onto the plains and clearing the forests, leading to the loss of the top-soil of the plains and making the area the desert it was today. Unable to produce food, the cities were eventually abandoned and crumbled into ruin.The Bonehunters, Chapter 2 
It was now a "mostly level, dust ground home to a scattering of shattered rock, no piece larger than a man's head".The Bonehunters, Chapter 3, US SFBC p.140
