The Deadlands (the desolation)

Created by a backlash from the casting of powerful prophesies by rival great prophets, the deadlands is a vast swath of land that is cursed to undeath.

Anything that dies in the deadlands will rise again as an undead abomination. It is filled with undead creatures and vast roving armies of undead - the remnants of zodic and leifin armies, as well as the fallen from the Great Crusade - when king Rolan led the armies of the east to cleanse the deadlands.

It is also riddled with abandoned cities, ruins, and treasures.
