Desert of a Million Shards

Five-hundred years ago, when the meteor hit the Yodei Desert and the world almost came to an end, Hetkae the Savior stepped in, sacrificing himself as he unleashed the sorcery within his veins to prevent the shockwave and explosion from spreading beyond the desert, trapping it within. As his body was blown to bits by the magic coursing through him, the meteor's explosive force stopped at the edges of the desert, leaving an eery landscape where the impact occurred—solid glass. Jagged in many places, and strangely flat in other places, the desert looks completely alien. No shelter and nearby mountains have provided perfect hunting grounds for rocs, who terrify those who wish to cross. Pockmarking the landscape are thousands of shattered bones and shards of glass from where massive rocs have dropped their prey to kill them before feeding them to their young.
