-Though at first glance a barren, dusty wasteland, '''The Mhojave Desert''' is in fact a diverse community teeming with life. Located between the [[Vashnar Mountains|Southern Vashnars]], [[Dakhota Hills]] and the [[Pash Valley]], the desert can be reached most easily by travelling along the [[Great Southern Road|Southern Old Road]].

-Foxes, snakes, hyenas, lizards and the curious [[jarbo]] can be seen roaming the desert, as well as [[unformed things of Chaos]]. A dangerous pit filled with scorpions can be a perilous adventure for those lost in the endless sand.
+The '''Mhojave Desert''' is a vast desert basin comprised of miles of pure, overarching dunes and rocky debris. Its seemingly barren wastes play host to a diverse ecosystem teeming with life. Nestled between the [[Vashnar Mountains|Southern Vashnars]], the [[Dakhota Hills]], the [[Savannah]], and the [[Shamtota Hills]], the desert can be reached most easily by travelling along the [[Great Southern Road]] which encircles it.
-At the heart of the desert lies an oasis and the village of [[El'Jazira]], while nearby can be found a small encampment of nomads. Additionally, the [[Erisian Pyramid]], [[Obelisk of Darkness]], and [[Temple of Sin]] are all located amongst the rolling dunes of the Mhojave. Lastly, at the southernmost portion of the desert, at the foot of the Vashnar Mountains, stand the gates to [[Moghedu]], legendary homeland of the [[Mhun]].
+The interior of the desert is dominated by large, rolling sand dunes. Closer to the foot of the mountains, the sands of the Mhojave intermingle with rocky scree to form a hard, broken landscape. Much of the desert is underlaid by dormant lava tubes and long-cooled magma caves, owing to the land's ancient volcanic history, and the small oasis in the heart of the desert owes its life to the water borne by just such a channel. Foxes, [[snakes]], [[monitor lizard]]s, hyenas, lizards and the curious [[jarbo]] can be seen roaming the desert, as well as [[unformed things of Chaos]]. A dangerous pit filled with scorpions can be a perilous adventure for those lost in the endless sand. [[Vala]], the [[Xoran|Xorani]] [[language tutors|language tutor]], can also be found in this desert.
