THE GOLDEN SANDS The Golden Sands region covers much of the Western Continent.
It is located south of the Red Mountains and completely surrounds the Dune Sea.
The region is so named because of the bright golden color of its sands.

In general, the climate is extremely hot and arid.
Areas along the coastline receive cool, humid breezes
Precipitation is scarce and the region receives only about three inches of rain annually.
Temperatures routinely top 100ºF and can reach 120
During the nights it is very cold.

The terrain varies from sand dunes, gravel plains, hills, valleys, pateaus, rock formations and shrublands.
The terrain is more rugged in the north and west.
The southern regions are more flat.

Although a desert, there are many oases, springs and shallow lake beds that fill during the brief rainy season.
There are many areas with grassland, shrubland, cacti and flowers.
At oases and other places were water collects there are trees.
There are heavier concentrations of plantlife and trees along the coasts

The Golden Sands Region is where Nlian civilization began and boasts the continent’s largest cities.
There are also many nomadic tribes that live much as their ancestors did thousands of years ago.

Although primary a desert, there is extensive farming.
The fragile ecosystem is maintained through the a strictly managed system of irrigation, crop rotation and recycling.
