Deserts always leave a deep impression on people, embodying the spirit of robust heroes and adventurers. In ancient Huaxia, there were many poems that praised the wilderness and showcased the majestic beauty of masculinity.
However, in the real world, deserts are not friendly to life; they lack water sources and are unsuitable for basic infrastructure development—everything is desolate, and it seems civilization has stopped its march forward here.
In such places, water is everything, which is why the most prosperous cities are always near water sources and continuously change with the shifting of these water sources.
The Orc Empire is not, in most times and respects, an actual empire. It much more resembles a tribal alliance.
