The Pale Wastes cover a vast expanse of calcified limestone and silica sand where a great sea once thrived. Intense sun reflection off the white ground makes tinted goggles essential for all travelers. While once submerged, this basin is now an arid landscape of shifting dunes and petrified remains. It serves as a lethal barrier and a treasure trove for scavengers seeking relics from the Age of Ember. The atmosphere is heavy with thermal distortion and the memory of lost tides.
