Atlina: Large stocky dog like creatures used in place of horses, stats as horse with bite instead of a hoof attack.

Sorg: Largest city in the area, has a population of over 200k.

Erindale: A city of 25k, 3 days mounted travel to the north west of Sorg. About 40 km from the edge of the Desolate Wastes. Main setting of the Campaign.

Desolate Wastes: A harsh desert environment enclosing an area of 50 km radius. The closer to the center the harsher  and weirder it gets. Due to an unknown magical field, ruins, temples and dungeons from many times and places appear in the DW and then vanish after a few days. The edge of the DW has many savage tribes that believe the area to be holy and will drive away or kill intruders (though some tribes will accept offerings and bribes to let explorers and knowledge seekers enter for a limited time).

Kichi Coni, a wandering merchant, has a rich and cultured manner. Has a large wagon served by two Atlina and travels with two mercenaries, Ezth and Helcatl. He is usually based out of the city of Sorg.

Narrine, Kichi's factor in the town of Erindale. A shrewd Trader with a very raspy voice, he is short with brown skin and wears embroidered robes.

Brogan, a warrior that makes his living exploring ruins in the Desolate Wastes. Has a lot of experience dealing with the tribes that guard that area. Has a small wagon with a well trained Atlina called Motwa.

Ursula, a rogue that works with Brogan, very quiet and moody.

Morth, a wizard that joined the party to explore the Desolate Wastes. Does sleight of hand magic tricks and has doves hidden in his robes.

The Gruesome Egg: An inn in Erindale known to adventures and merchants.

Small portal Station: A small building buried in sand made of some unknown plastic-like material. inside were three rooms. Room one contained a Golem servant the players hacked apart. Room two had a control station that give views and full sensory feedback to the person sitting in the chair, i.e. you could tastes, smell and feel as well, the key to the array in room 3 was found here. In the third room there was a transporter array that took them to a underground water treatment facility.

Large underground water treatment facility: Large carefully and smoothly carved underground chamber with a giant artificial lake in the center. Lots of worker Golems and several security Golems. Much was unexplored by the time the players fled the area but findings included, a factory area with Snake Men captives forced to work, several storage rooms filled with pipes and fittings, a changing station for the Golems, and a trophy room/ Museum filled with cases of artifacts from different times and places. It's also connected to an underground tunnel system with a Snake Men Village and a destroyed Bandit camp (with a exit to a desert area).

Golem: Used to refer to any type of autonomous creature, humanoid or other, that was crafted by magic or other means rather than born. Warforged would be Golems under this meaning. Note this does not mean that they are all intelligent and or self willed but rather that they are self-motivated via programming or other means.
