Temperature
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. Daytime Heat
- 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 Fields and Borderlands of Ash are even hotter, where exposed metal or stone can burn flesh within seconds. - Travelers move only at dawn or dusk, and settlements rely on thick walls, subterranean dwellings, and heat-reflecting architecture to survive. Freezing Nights
- As soon as the sun sets, the heat rapidly escapes, and the temperature can plummet below freezing in some regions. - Cold-resistant plants and creatures have adapted to the extreme shift, while desert dwellers rely on layered clothing and heat-retaining structures to endure the cold.
