Des

Des is one of the two countries located on the continent of Sandarg.

Environment
Being in the southern part of Dandonia, Des is covered with sand and rock. There is little vegetation, with only sparse grasses and cacti being much of the plant life hardy enough to survive in the arid climate. It is bordered on its western edge by a mountain range which separates it from Ert.

Culture
Des is home for the aarakoca, human, minotaur, tabaxi, and warforged races, although the country receives lots of tourist traffic. Two of its most well-known attractions are the Five Rings of Gladiators and the Sapphire of Anubis. The country is known to eat giant scorpion due to the lack of available farming areas.

Des tends to go to war with its neighboring Ert, and they have warred several times over the years.

Government
Des is a theocratic monarchy ruled by pharaohs. The most recent ruling family is the Onyxian, the highest-ranking tabaxi family who were blessed by the god Anubis himself to rule Des. As of current, there have been 17 pharaohs in the Onyxian line, with the current pharaoh being Rajamal Onyxian.
