Desert Scream

Overview

Desert Scream is a Special Combat Colony located in the Palis Desert on the Huan Continent.

History

Located in the southern desert of Polis Judin, this Special Combat Colony's official name is the “Polis Judin Territory's 2nd Special Combat Colony.” However, because of the area's desolation and scorching heat, people began calling Desert Scream—the nickname for the desert's sand-laden winds—instead of using the Polis Colony name, and it became the commonly used name. Desert Scream was formed around a massive oasis called Palace Desert, with residential areas built around it, and is said to have once been an ocean. The Sage Tower decided to use this place as the foundation for a Special Combat Colony. It was later built as a Combat Colony by the Sage Sirius. However, even after a long time, none of the signs of danger warned of by the Sage Tower appeared, and now only the staff and trainees dispatched by the Sage Tower, along with merchants who make their living through them, reside there. Originally, District 5, under the administration of the Polis Judin's 13th Resource Colony, was the oil field here. However, it became an abandoned oil field after its profitability declined more than a decade ago. The abandoned oil field is now being used as a graveyard. Nevertheless, people have traveled there frequently for a long time because of the continent's only massive salt desert and the high-quality salt obtainable from it.

As it lies in the middle of a desert, the climate has almost no humidity and is dry. The daily temperature range is also extremely pronounced, so it is hot during the day and hot at night. Everywhere visible is covered in sand dunes, and dusty winds occasionally blow in and obscure visibility. Failing to take shelter when a dust storm blows in could even put one's life at risk. Naturally, food production is almost nonexistent, so the area must depend on imports. A village is located at the upper-right edge, with an oasis at the center. Large and small sand dunes stretch in every direction, while old animal bones, desert plants such as cacti, and the remains of abandoned oil fields left behind after use lie scattered here and there. What is unusual is that ancient ruins were discovered near Desert Scream during an expedition. However, since they were discovered only recently and are near a Combat Colony where monsters appear, a full-scale investigation has not yet begun. The ruins are said to contain unidentified stone structures, statues depicting people, and altars, or objects resembling altars. The clothing generally follows the style of the Huan Continent, with clothes and hats made of thin fabric to block direct sunlight. In addition, many people can be seen wearing Martial Suits as everyday clothing because of the threat posed by monsters.
