The great desert of Araba was an extremely large area that covered thousands of miles of area. This was a region which was completely filled with sand and nothing else. As long as one's eyes could see, they would only be able to see a sea of sand. There were some areas that were made of rocks but trees were almost non-existent in this place.
This desert took up a large area but this place had no kingdoms. As this place was extremely hard to navigate, it was almost impossible to create a kingdom with several cities in this place. That did not mean that this place did not have any authoritative figures here. But instead of ruling over a nation, they all ruled over a single city or a village.
This great desert of Araba had scattered civilizations. There were hundreds of small villages and a few cities. A city could only be built if there was a consistent source of water close to it. So almost all the cities were located close to an oasis.
