Aihrde needs deserts...

[slimykuotoan]

...and desert peoples.

Just sayin'.

Start chopping down trees...

Aihrde does have deserts and desert people. They are on a different continent though from what I read in the original codex...and migrated through the 'detailed' portion of the world. The Maidru people...leastwise I think that was the proper name. I might have mangled the name...

Ahh the human need to fill up every valley , leave every hillside flat and bring every mountain low

Slimy, you can back this Kickstarter and use it for your Aihrde Desert Lands, maps by Anna Meyers, the one who did those Greyhawk maps that are so awesome...

Its funny you should say that, because your right. The Lands of Ursal have NADA for deserts. Now to the east there is one sprawling huge desert, and to the west is the Dulcet, which is a very dry savannah, but neither are really within playing distance of most adventures.

The only one that comes close in the Lands of Ursal are the Blighted Screed and the Luneberg Plains, but neither are traditional deserts of sand.

Europe needs more deserts also...

I like this a lot.

I have to admit, I'm not much of a desert fantasy kind of guy. Love me some Dune, or Tatooine from Star Wars, but not so much in fantasy rpg's.

A place that has survived a Winter's Dark could have numerous arctic deserts. Or, redefine desert to include things like "without magic" as opposed to "limited rainfall." Hmm.

A religiously arid environment could be interesting... a land full of faithless. Yeah.

Pathfinder did this and in light of the rest of the cosmology it makes zero sense. This is something that has been discussed for a little while among some of the RPG brigade, How does a person who lives in a world of dragons and divine spell casting priests justify being atheist? In the real world one could argue there is a lack of evidence but in the realms or greyhawk or even the pathfinder setting the gods are a proven fact and interact with the world daily.

Works best in places so difficult to get to that outside forces, like religious philosophy, are non-existent, making the natives practice, if they do, their own thing which could be animism or ancestor worship as opposed to some idea of "gods." Or, to the other extreme, it could be entirely monotheistic but they're oppressed by their deity, such as those in an actual desert who must not only "worship" the Sun but are harmed and killed by it.

There are ways to do the concept. Some might be more tasty to someone than another.

But evidence of gods in one corner of the planet does not mean proof of their existence.

Unless of course the gods send an avatar to muck about with these non-believers?

Which is of course what would happen if those gods derived power from worship. That would be assured, barring other gods intervening.

Sure, they could try. But, there's no guarantee it would be seen as divine or even cause worship. After all, powerful magic and tech can exist just as easily as gods. Just a reversal of my favorite BS from Ancient Aliens.... deities can be misunderstood wizards.
