The Scythera Desert is a vast and cold desert cutting a desolate swath from the Southern Steppes of western Khul as far as the Inland Sea to the east.[1]

The Scythera Desert is home to the nomadic desert lizard men, desert goblins, some Human Desert Nomads, and the peoples of Shakuru.[2] A small number of caarth also dwell in this region.[3] The inhabitants often travel across the wastes of the desert to trade; they use camels or reptilian gunderwals for transportation.[4]

Among the few wild creatures that live in the Scythera Desert are the Scytheran Desert Cat and the dreaded Sand Piranha.[5][6]

Although described as cold in many books it is in fact a baking expanse.[7] The cold refers to the freezing temperatures of the night. Caravan routes to Kish, Calah and Assur run through it.

Further Notes[]

  • The name Scythera is possibly based on the name of a Greek island, Cythera.
