Maerken Kor is an almost totally arid spherical world where dunes move like oceans and gilded plateaus carry whispers older than cities. People thrive here by hearkening: to heat, sand, startrails and overall adaptability. Civilizations of all ranges gather around the mirages of the Kör, trading routes carved by longtrails that read the desert like scripture. Night drops a velvet canopy so clear it feels nearer than breath. Knowledge is carved into eon filled strata and coded ages to remain alive. Maerken Kör teaches the ways of mystery and the secrets under the infinite sands.
