THE PIT

     This region in far northwestern Emuria is a large, sand-filled crater nestled within the surrounding Green Mountains.  It is a desert area, but there are several oases within this small region, and the Stoneflood River also flows here, making it less treacherous than would be expected.  There are some rather nasty and unusual types of creatures here including large burrowing worms known as Desert Worms, and giant beetles abound as well.  This region is mostly uninhabited, although a small community of Emuri has been established along the Stoneflood in the far northwestern corner of this area.
