=== Cultural Significance ===

Zanarakis is both a physical and a spiritual realm, where reality often blurs with illusion. The desert’s inhabitants—the [[Gilaari]] and [[Galihi]]—have adapted to its unpredictable nature, developing cultures based on survival, movement, and the mastery of illusion and transformation.

|Geography=Zanarak is a land of extremes, featuring towering sand dunes, ancient glass formations, and relentless sandstorms.

* Sand Dunes – The vast dunes of Zanarak are in constant motion, shifting with the desert winds. Some reach towering heights, making navigation perilous.

* The Glass Fields of Zanarak – Intense heat from the nearby land of [[Tahrzul]] have created towering spires, jagged ridges, and smooth, reflective plains of glass

|Notable Settlments=* [[Mirajhar]], the City of Shifting Sands – A mystical city that appears and disappears like a mirage, serving as a cultural and spiritual hub for the desert’s inhabitants.

* [[Orundahl]], the last major settlement before the Zanarak Desert, serving as a critical waypoint for travelers, merchants, and fortune-seekers.

* [[Azirith]], the shattered port of glass.

* [[Arenam's Quarry]], a harsh mining settlement carved from the fractured glass fields of Zanarak.
