In the west of the Land of Dawn, there is a vast and boundless desert area called the Agelta Drylands. In the Moniyan language, Agelta means "yellow sand everywhere". The climate here is harsh and there are very few people, with strong winds all year round and other severe weather phenomena such as sandstorms occurring frequently. Only a few oases in the whole of Agelta have water sources, and serve as a stopping point for travelling tradesmen and adventurers. Although the climate is harsh and full of unknown dangers, it is rumored across the whole Land of Dawn that in the ancient desert labyrinths and ruins, there are treasures and the Twilight Orb left by the Ancient Ones. Therefore, adventurers from the mainland continue to explore the depths of the desert.
Except for the residences of a few aborigines, everything in Agelta is dangerous and unknown. Of course, in the eyes of adventurers, this implies unlimited possibilities.
Heroes of Agelta Drylands
Lore
Agelta is currently sparsely populated and the climate is harsh. But in fact, thousands of years ago, it was a fertile oasis that was destroyed in the Endless War. The oasis is now filled with yellow sand, and the originally clear rivers gradually disappeared and dried up, or went underground. The land that had lost its nourishment became dry and barren. After the Endless War, Agelta ushered in its earliest inhabitants – the Minotaurs. This group of orcs traversed the long yellow sands and established their own city-state at the end of the desert where they thrived. Subsequently, the Eschackans among the humans gradually settled in the desolate western regions. This brave and combative race scattered throughout Agelta, giving birth to a number of city states and tribes. At the beginning of the Golden Era, the armies of the Old Moniyan Empire stepped into Agelta and conquered all the city-states and tribes of the Eschackans, incorporating the western region into the empire's territory, and implementing colonial rule there. When the old empire began to collapse, the Eschackans left the empire as they wished. With the collapse of the old empire, the material allocation and expropriation system under centralized rule no longer existed, and was replaced by an endless stream of commercial exchanges, and the Emerald Road in the western region also began to rise due to a large number of trade exchanges, bringing it prosperity. The rise of the Emerald Road swelled the ambitions of tyrants. The Tivacan tyrant Khufra from the westernmost part of Agelta, led his army to invade and foolishly attempt to conquer the whole of Agelta from where he would rule the entire Land of Dawn. His plan ultimately failed, and the once glorious ancient city of Tivacan was silenced with its tyrant leader and followed him to the grave. In order to avoid the re-emergence of ambitious people like Khufra and the threat of the Abyss and the Moniyan Empire, the western city-states established a loose assembly composed of city lords, nobles, and great merchants to continue to maintain their rule. But with the sudden appearance of the Twilight Orb, a serious disaster once again struck Agelta. A violent explosion destroyed most of the city-states and the civilization of the Minotaurs there, burying them in the yellow sand.
