Some say that The Dustbowl was once part of the great forest, but a large fire began burning on the eastern edge of the continent (probably by some fool wizard, stupid Eastern Mages) and continued burning and destroying everything until a Western Mage put the fire out.2.  Still others have claimed that a 10,000 year war ravaged the land, but was stopped by the entrance of the worlds first (and still only, to this day at least) chromatic dragon.  This dragon is named Tiaminos and not much is known about him, other than he chooses to live his life in a cavern to the far south in the swampy region near The Dustbowl.3.  Others have said that subeterrainian creatures have been destroying the land from the bottom up, digging large caverns and holes.  For purposes unknown, these creatures have created a vast system of tunnels and small villages underground, and the carnage they create underneath is evidenced by the destruction above ground.4.  Finally, another local legends tells of very powerful but very evil weapons buried beneath the sand, creating "blighted land" where nothing will grow, and all structures put up by any settlers are destroyed within one year.</blockquote>
