The Great Esh
is a vast windswept desert that covers most of northern
Tasserus. Renown
for its harsh climate, rugged peoples, and terrible
denizens; the Esh is a corner of the World of Teréth
End that few ever see.
The people of the Esh (Eshi) are swarthy-skinned
nomads who typically travel between seasonally occurring
springs with their families and livestock. The
locations of these springs are guarded secrets, rarely
revealed at pain of death. Revelation of a single
spring's location might spell doom for one's tribe and
family.
The Eshi are accustomed to the blazing
heat of the summer months and deathly freezes that come
during winter nights on the rocky bluffs and open sands.
The Eshi are not one people but rather a collection
of hundreds of people that over time have settled in
this region. Whether forced into the wastes by
ancient wars or cultists exiled into this unforgiving
place, most Eshi tribes have some unique history for
why they trod the burning sands.
