Arif

Arif is the great desert landscape on Erwt.

Geography
Arif is at the 8 o'clock position on the Face of Erwt. The archipelagos of Ardellia lie to the east, and the fuming volcanic wastes of Exympor to the west. The central nation of Zhuma is by far the largest, stretching from the dark mesas in the east, across the great dunes, all the way to the broken badlands in the west.Alquarest lies to the east, a dry highlands region with sparse vegetation, sloping to the mesas and endless flats of Zhuma.

Bad-biliad stretches along the western banks of the Biliad river, which cuts a great canyon that separates Zhuma from Bad-biliad.

Politics and Society
Alquarest is a poor nation with few resources and even less ambition. Bad-biliad lies along the Biliad river and derives its wealth from both food (especially on the great delta), as well as minerals. Zhuma is a rich and powerful nation, and has been expanding its influence and territory since Marjanah and Serafima took the throne.
