Qabir
The Sands of Ubar: At the heart of Qabir, the Sands of the stretch endlessly, a sun-scorched sea of golden dunes. Amidst the harsh desert conditions, hardy creatures such as the Arabian oryx, desert lizards, and sand vipers eke out an existence. The resilient ghaf tree, with its deep roots, also thrives here, providing sustenance and shade for desert-dwelling animals. The desert is home to the Jann, elemental spirits guarding the desert's secrets, and is the legendary site of the buried city of Ubar, where ancient wisdom and treasure await discovery. The Mountains of Tiamat: The craggy peaks of the Mountains of Tiamat rise to the west, named in honor of the primordial chaos goddess. The mountains are a haven for ibex, Arabian leopards, and the elusive Anzu bird, a giant, fire-breathing creature with a wingspan that blots out the sun. Juniper, olive, and wild almond trees cling to the rocky slopes, providing sustenance and shelter for the animals that call these mountains home. The Garden of Dilmun: Nestled between the desert and the mountains, the Garden of Dilmun is a lush oasis fed by the life-giving waters of two great rivers. Date palms, pomegranate trees, and fragrant flowers create a paradise that attracts creatures such as the Arabian gazelle, the sacred ibis, and the chattering hoopoe. It is here that gods and mortals mingle, and the fate of empires is determined by divine intervention. The Oasis of Shaddad: Scattered throughout the Arabian deserts are the miraculous oases, with the Oasis of Shaddad being the most legendary. The oasis is home to emerald-green date palms, crystalline springs, and mystical creatures such as the Al-Jann. The waters of the oasis sustain a variety of life, including the elusive desert rose, known for its striking beauty and resilience in the face of adversity. The Isles of Magan: To the east, the enchanted Isles of Magan beckon from beyond the Arabian Sea. Unique species of flora and fauna inhabit each island, including the mythical Bahamut and the enigmatic sea serpents called Nagas. Among the island's natural wonders are the frankincense tree, which produces precious aromatic resin, and the vibrant coral reefs teeming with colorful marine life.
