The Sandsea (Sahnd-Sea)
The Sandsea is a large island located to the northeast of the mainland in the world of fantasy and adventure. The island is named for its vast deserts and sprawling sand dunes that dominate the landscape, creating an arid and unforgiving environment.

The island is characterized by its vast deserts and towering sand dunes, which cover much of its surface. The sand dunes can reach heights of up to 500 meters and are constantly shifting and changing shape due to large abounts of Magical Disturbance in the area
Localized Phenomena
The shifting dunes of the Sandsea have long been a source of fascination and intrigue for both scientists and locals alike. It was only after many years of study and observation that the cause of the constant movement of the dunes was finally discovered: natural magic. The magic of the Sandsea is renowned for its strength and potency, and it can significantly alter the landscape of the region. The dunes themselves move with a fluidity that resembles the rhythmic rise and fall of ocean waves, a dance that is palpable beneath the shifting sands. While some attribute this movement to the spirits of the desert, many believe that it is a direct result of the powerful magic that permeates the area.
Time distortions are a phenomenon that affects the entire Island, especially in the town of Sunhaven, the distortions are particularly powerful and have been a topic of fascination for generations. The distortions are localized around the massive sundial that stands at the center of the town. Some believe that the sundial was built specifically to harness the power of the distortions, while others argue that it is the cause of the Distortions, however, regardless of its purpose, the sundial is now an integral part of the town's identity.
The time distortions in Sunhaven have been known to cause all manner of strange occurrences. For instance, travelers passing through the town have reported feeling as if time has slowed or sped up, while others have claimed to experience déjà vu or vivid dreams. Some even claim that the distortions have caused them to see apparitions or to hear voices from the past.

The town of Sunhaven serves as a hub for these adventurers, offering guides, supplies, and equipment for those brave enough to explore the vast dunes. Additionally, the town is home to several unique attractions, such as the massive sundial at its center, and the annual Horology Festival which celebrates the art of timekeeping and the importance of horology in the Sandsea's history.
