As the name suggests, the Desert of Ohmal is a giant desert located just south of the [[Crackling Mountains]]. It is home to the Academic City of [[Scientia]] and the Seat of Time within [[Tempus Peak]].

	This massive desert used to be a lush jungle full of life and the most exotic flora ever seen. However, due to the influence of Tempus Peak, this area moved a lot faster through time than any other place on Tael. Every river is completely dried out; the only ~~source~~ of water are occasional wells. Water that is very close to the Peak can sometimes become a conduit for time and causes its reflection to become visions of the near or far future of whatever it is reflecting.

	Due to all the Time Streams converging onto Tempus Peak, their sheer numbers close to the surface cause the Time in the desert to be quite chaotic. The closer you get to the Mountain, the more chaotic time becomes. In order to reduce those effects to mortals, Tempus is upholding a massive Aura centered around the Peak that slows down the ~~percieved~~ time for everyone within. This however has the added side effect that there is certain distance from the Peak where time is relatively stable, but slowed down. The Academic City of Scientia falls exactly into this overlap.

As the name suggests, the Desert of Ohmal is a giant desert located just south of the Crackling Mountains. It is home to the Academic City of Scientia and the Seat of Time within Tempus Peak.

== Landscape ==
This massive desert used to be a lush jungle full of life and the most exotic flora ever seen. However, due to the influence of Tempus Peak, this area moved a lot faster through time than any other place on Tael. Every river is completely dried out; the only source of water are occasional wells. Water that is very close to the Peak can sometimes become a conduit for time and causes its reflection to become visions of the near or far future of whatever it is reflecting.

=== Ruins of Ohmal ===
Underneath the surface of the sands lies the ruins of a highly advanced civilization. These ruins are often the target of expensive research expeditions because they are basically a look into the future.

=== Tempus Peak ===

== Flora ==
Apart from occasional oases with a little bit of vegetation, there is little flora left in this place robbed of its time. An Oasis usually has some Palmtrees as well as some sandberry bushes around them, which helps the caravans to restock a bit before they continue their journey.

== Fauna ==
[This part follows later, as i have a number of creatures planned that live in this desert, but putting them in here now would create too much overhead to handle for me at the moment]

== Society ==
There are three distinct societies established along the outer edges of the desert.

=== Scientia ===

=== New Ohmal ===

=== Syssilith ===

== Time Distortions ==
