AT A GLANCE: The near-mythical desert
of Raurin is a massive, sandy waste
which could swallow entire nations of
the North. It is located in the furthest
southeast, beyond the domains of
Mulhorand.

ELMINSTER'S NOTES: Unlike Anauroch,
our northern desert, Raurin is a great
sandy waste dotted by rare oases and
dead kingdoms. It is also known as the
Dust Desert and the Stone Desert. Great
and magical kingdoms were said to rule
this land, and it may be their fall that first
drove men into the lands of the Inner Sea
and towards the Sword Coast. What lies
there is as yet unrecorded.
