Iosaa Desert

Just as it says on the tin, the Iosaa desert is a large sandy expanse that was once an ancient sea of some sort. Now, the water has gone from it completely, leaving it barren, dry, and void of all things save the occasional patch of dry and dying grass. Only the strongest, toughest, and most hardy creatures can survive out here for long during the scorching heat of the midday. At night, however, temperatures drop quickly and the sand dunes come alive with lizards, bats, snakes and small foxes, which are easy prey for dragons. A few other large predators find a way to live out here by hiding beneath the sand during the day, digging tunnels to underground springs for water.
