Ink Snow and Gotze got stopped by the carriage at the entrance of Sahara Desert which was actually a natural "gate" formed by two small hills. They were wearing only cloth armor and had a glowing green amulet on their necks. Even as they stood in front of the entrance, they both felt a heat wave stroking their faces and making them feel a bit uncomfortable.
Sahara Desert was a large map that had a wide variety of desert creatures lurking within. As it was located at the Southern part of the main continent, it wasn't the hottest desert but it's temperature was still burning.
