The Ruins of Alendar is what people of the thirteen tribe called the large patch of barren sandy land that one would see after coming out from the Illusion Forest if you travelled to the East.
The reason why this is bizarre was that toward the west there is the Illusion Forest with vegetation and mountain and hills with cool breezy winds.
It did not look that different from the scenery one would find on some countryside of the Human Continent
On it southwest is the Tree Rings of the Arakian ancestral lands and the land around that tree ring is very fertile.
Not far away from that was the Eradites who also lives around great forest and large land with greenery where they farm and hunt.
On the north east of this desert is the Green Plains where the Saranites would graze their sheep and train their warhorses and rides their beast.
None of them is like the areas around the Ruins of Alendar. It is like a different world altogether.
