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. | The interior of the desert is dominated by large, rolling sand dunes.
