The Desolation



The Desolation is a region of Elona which comprises the southernmost portion of the Crystal Desert.

This area has been ravaged by evil. A most hostile environment, a poisonous desert with pits of sulphur, huge tentacles sticking out of the ground and all kinds of other hazards. It is under the control of demons and undead. Palawa Joko, Lord of the Undead, first invaded Elona from the Desolation. It was said in the November issue of PC Gamer that after you finish a certain quest chain, you will be able to summon a worm that will swallow you and take you through sulfurous pits that would otherwise be fatal to humans.

Aside from undead Palawa Joko and the Jujundu wurms, Margonites also seem to possess the ability to transverse the desolation unharmed, as well as Warmarshal Varesh, although the last two may have been blessed with supernatural abilities by Abaddon in order to survive the Sulphurous Haze
