Narrowdep
Barren and desolate for the most part, Narrowdep is a desert region dotted with the occassional oasis of water and vegetation. The canvas villages of the nomadic cattle and camel herders are traditionally caomflaged and are almost impossible to spot from any distance. These huge camps can be struck, moved many tens of miles and re-established overnight.
The harsh conditions and scarce resources make travel difficult for those not born to the desert and much money is now made by enterprising locals who arrange safe passage for traders' caravans.
The closest Narrowdep has to a traditional town is the cosmopolitan and welcoming permenant camp at the Askatep oasis. The bazzars of Askatep camp are famous for the fine and expensive wares on sale, much of which is the salvage from ill-fated caravans swallowed by the sands. Askatep is a reknowned center of learning and scholars from leagues around travelling there for heated debates and enligtening discussions.
Legend suggests that the original rulers of The Colonies, the snake brothers 'Ulrich' and 'C William' fled to Narrowdep after their final defeat in Windaria and are still hiding their disgrace and shame somewhere in the baking dunes.
