Gleaming Wastes

The Gleaming Wastes is a desert region in Cordia. Although it is part of the United Territories of Armania, it has no governing body of its own.Session 0 
The Wastes are dangerous to traverse, not only due to the terrain and bandit attacks, but as the habitat of purple worms. Wayfinding obelisks throughout the Gleaming Wastes help travelers locate the Morran OutpostBeginnings Part 1.

The following excerpt is from the "Days of Our Lore" series:Most of the inhabitants of the United Territories of Armania live among the coasts and rivers. This is due to the vast desert that spans most of the kingdom: The Gleaming Wastes. 
Inside the wastes there are four main regions. To the east and southern border, you have the Canyonlands. Comparatively, to the rest of the Wastes, they’re tame. As long as you don’t count bandits who’ve tucked themselves away into the cliffs to be much danger.
To the west, are the Great Dunes. Mountains of sand forever shifting in the wind. Many travelers can find a single rocky oasis located in the center of the Great Dunes known as the Xetticus Morran Outpost.
The third region is the smallest, but serves as the membrane between the other three regions. Filled with cacti, scrub brush and desert blooms, the “wall of green” serves as the only real source of vegetation in the Wastes. 
Lastly, we find ourselves in the final region of the Gleaming Wastes. The Seraphic Tear. Not much is known about the Tear and it serves as the northern border for the UTA.
