Climate of Zanarak (edit)	The Climate of Zanarak is one of unforgiving extremes, where scorching days, freezing nights, and violent desert storms shape the lives of those who call the desert home	Zanarak’s vast dunes and glass-laden landscapes absorb heat rapidly during the day, but with no moisture to trap warmth, the desert becomes bitterly cold at night. The average midday temperature in the heart of Zanarak exceeds survivable levels, forcing most creatures to seek shelter underground or within shaded structures. The Glass Mountains are even hotter, where exposed metal or stone can burn flesh within seconds. As soon as the sun sets, the heat rapidly escapes, and the temperature can plummet below freezing in some regions. Plants and creatures have adapted to the extreme shift, while desert dwellers rely on layered clothing and heat-retaining structures to endure.	Sandstorms are a regular occurance. While some storms last only minutes, others can rage for days. Rain is extremely rare in Zanarak, often not falling for years at a time. When rain does come, it is often violent and brief, forming temporary oases and causing flooding. Some settlements, like Mirajhar, are rumored to have hidden wells or knowledge of underground water sources.		To endure Zanarak’s climate, settlements and travelers must adapt in clever and resourceful ways. Buildings are often half-buried in the sand to retain cool air and provide insulation against freezing nights. Glass and obsidian reinforcements protect structures from sandstorms. Mirrored rooftops and white stone walls help deflect heat away from dwellings.
