Crystal Desert

The Crystal Desert is a very inhospitable desert in the southern-eastern part of the world map. It is located far south of Ascalon and it is the region where players complete their Ascension.

The desert is a cruel place that has refused the attempts of humans to colonize it through the ages. As one travels the desert, there are signs of both these facts. There are many ruins and remnants of ancient structures, but also, there are no human inhabitants past The Amnoon Oasis. All the outposts and areas after this are inhabited by ghosts or spirits. This lack of hospitality is reflected in the missions of the main campaign. The Crystal Desert is the only region that does not carry the player from one mission to another. Instead, the players must find the mission towns on their own and can do the missions in any order.

The desert is home to some very dangerous monsters including: Hydras, Siege Wurms, Carrion Devourers and Sand Giants. The desert is also the only region that has Teleporters.
