Below is a map of Zakhara.  

Zakhara is a vast desert, for the most part.  Zakharan wastelands include great sandy wastes and towering dunes, volcanic debris, salt flats, rocky uplands, ruddy cliffs, rugged mountains, and steppes that become a carpet of green in the spring.  The annual rainfall is, to say the least, sparse. 

Despite the lack of water, life in this arid realm is abundant and wondrous.  Nomads cross the desert, and merchant caravans follow established trade routes between lush oases.   Yet there are some places in the desert where none will go, where the heat, drought, and dangers are far too great.  Here dwell the genies. 

Fate, the Loregiver, and the Scrolls - Despite the variety of gods worshipped, all in Zakhara believe in Fate. Nobody can agree what Fate is, though all agree it is a she. Some feel that Fate is the mother of the gods, though she herself is not a goddess, for she grants no spells and calls for no one to worship her. To others she is simply a pervasive elemental force who can be as vast as the heaven, yet she can assume a form as small as an ordinary woman or as insubstantial as a whisper.
