Ammareth

The warmest hospitality is shown to the stranger without burden, but a man labors long to give a relative a cold rebuke. -Marretic Proverb

More than most places, Ammareth presents the realities of the Tannah Sea in the 4th Age. It is a place where peoples are woven by history into a fabric of complicated overlapping communities, resulting in unique expressions of culture, and much conflict.

Geography

Soaring Sands

The vibrant sandy dunes of southwestern Ammareth provide a large buffer to the Great Dead Forest, but are dangerous in their own right. Though subtle, a wound of the Great War makes the air of the region unnaturally thick, and the desert oases are fed by thermal geysers. With the heat steaming from the ground, and held from the sun by the thick air, winds often twist into a complex maze of shifting and unpredictable currents. These winds flow as if time has slowed, yet are still able to exert great force, carrying aloft banks of sunset colored sand clouds that sometimes take years to settle.

The air is still breathable, but takes more energy, making travel across the sands a grueling affair. Plant and animal life is rare given the baking heat and heavy-weighted winds, but lush areas have grown around the eternal columns of rising mist, with rugged trees providing shelter from the oppressive gusts.
