Sea of Glass
The Sea of Glass is reputed to be the site of Martek's long ago battle with the Great Evil. An intense firestorm melted the sand into a many-feet-thick sheet of glass, which has remained for a thousand years.
The glass absorbs the desert heart and reflects the sun, turning the Sea into a deathtrap for the unwary. The only way to cross it even marginally safely is by riding in a modified Sandskate fitted with blades which allow it to skate over the surface at high speed.
A region of thinner glass on the edge has become known as the Plain of Knives, after the shattered glass shards which comprise it. It is a deadly hazard.
