North Desert

One of the largest regions in the Arena, covering the upper half of the eastern regions, this is perhaps the most merciless of the 58th Arena's rough landscapes. While that means travelers here are more likely to be alone, it also means that there are a variety of ways for them to die without a single fight. Plants do not grow here, the only animals are those that wandered in from the south or west, and water is a defunct dream. Worst of all, perhaps, is the endless sand. Dunes pepper the landscape, but don't trust them as landmarks; they shift with the wind, burying your footsteps and any supplies you're stupid enough to turn your back on for more than a short time. There is no shelter. Not from sun, not from burning days and freezing nights, and definitely not from the prowling tributes or the desperate animals- assailants that may or may not be there in the first place, for the monotony of sand can do strange things to the mind.
