South Desert

For tributes who made it through the North Desert without fatal harm, the South Desert is a momentous relief. Occasional rainfall gifts this southeastern portion of the Arena with scattered vegetation, some of which could feed a clever tribute. Should one wait patiently near such greenery, they might also find lizards or even, with great luck, a rodent, rabbit, or other small animal. However, don't think that this makes life in the South Desert easy. Water is absorbed quickly, leaving little for any humans wandering through, and few of the animals are worth trying to eat. Moreover, there is only slightly more cover here than in the north, leaving tributes almost completely vulnerable to attack and the painfully extreme temperatures.
