Bone Desert
From Age of Sigmar - Lexicanum
The Bone Desert is a vast sea of sand dunes sprinkled with the gigantic skeletons that may have given it its name, although others claim that the sand itself is bone dust. [1b]
Locations
- Eight Pillars: An ancient monument city at the end of a gorge heading into mountains. It is comprised of a great pyramid at the culmination of a colonnade of eight towering pillars eroded by the sandy winds of the desert over long ages. As the Age of Sigmar goes on, a small settlement was founded there by treasure seekers and adventures and those who would supply them.[1e]
