Zidrane Island

"A barren wasteland today, but tomorrow a lush green paradise." - Iyrys Zahir

## History

Zidrane has a lot of hidden history, though not much is currently known of the island. On it, there is only one village in which the people have established themselves close to an oasis. The river of which connects to the sea.

### Zidrane's Guardian

No one has seen or heard of the guardian of Zidrane, though the desert is vastly unexplored.

### The Ashen Pharaoh

Wandering in the lost sands of Zidrane, harboring a wandering Pyramid that never rests. A Powerful Pharaoh of times long past it prefers the solitude of the sands. The Pharaoh is a large Flareon and is a sand wanderer's delusion. The ruins themselves hidden in a traveling sandstorm, the Flareon protects the honor of Zidrane and represents it's former glory. These golden sun rays might be responsible for the never ending heat of Zidrane's overcast.

## Gym Leader of Zidrane

Iyrys Zahir - A devoted indivdiual, Iyrys spends most of her time leading the people of Zidrane. She actively spends many of her hours using pokemon and people alike to build canals and water ways for Outcast City so that one day the grounds can be lush and filled with greenery.

## Geography

A strange island, clearly warped by some strange phenomena. When entering the island, it feels as if the sun begins to beat down harder on those travelling the island.

A barren wasteland full of deserts and sand, plains of dirt and dunes litter the vast ground.

### Outcast City

On the island a relatively larger town is built around the largest discovered oasis, the town is dubbed Outcast City. Wild Pokémon come here to refresh themselves often and people are constantly taking care of those that travel to the barren wastes, especially those that arrive injured or tired. In the town there isn't a Pokémon center, but a small hospital run by an elderly lady.

### The Persian Casino

A small casino built with a very direct purpose. The games played are simple but varied such as roulette and slot machines, blackjack or dice games.

### The Ancient Pyramid

After an unusually large Pokémon rampaged in the desert, remnants of a dead civilization were discovered. After going in with an archaeologist, a self-contained ecosystem was found inside. A light door that led to the tomb of a pharaoh had books, armor, a weapon, a shield and a bunch of crystals inside, and a rainbow gem. Past some living quarters a chasm was found, with a broken bridge.

### The Badlands

Past the active volcano of Zidrane is an area desolate of any life, these badlands are home to only the strongest of the strong Pokémon, a location with very little things. Most Pokémon that come here only are here to visit and do their best to leave this area. It acts as a wall to prevent the exploration of the rest of the island.

## Weather

Similar to the un-natural phenomena of other islands, Zidrane is always summer. A constant blast of heat and sun-rays can be felt the instant one steps into the area of Zidrane.

Other areas are plagued with constant sandstorms and the like, though researchers are unsure why or how these things exist.

## Pokémon Inhabitants and Fauna

Throughout the explored parts of the island that are safe enough to explore, most commonly found is the **desert** of the island. There are various points such as the **Volcano**, and the **Badlands**. As well as the **ruins** of an ancient civilization. Zidrane is home to mostly desert-roaming Pokémon or fire and ground types.

Rawst berries and various cacti are the most commonly found thing on Zidrane, but Iyrys hopes to change that one day.
