Al-JawharKhet
Al-Jawharkhet, meaning "The Jewel Place," is the shining heart of the Sah'Qadir Desert, a thriving oasis surrounded by endless seas of golden dunes, scorching days, and bitterly cold nights. While the desert is unforgiving, its sands are rich with salt, spices, gemstones, and rare minerals, drawing caravans from distant lands to its bustling markets.

In Arabic "Al-Jawhar" means "the jewel," while "Khet" might be Persian or Urdu for "place" or "area." So, combined, it might suggest "the jewel place" or "the jewel area."

Info:
Unlike the nomads of the grassy plain steppes, the desert nomads live in harsher conditions. Their herds are primarily the same, herding sheep and goats. However, instead of horses they rely mainly on camels to traverse the dry dunes; they have also been known to ride various other animals to help them traverse the deep desert. They trade in salt, spice, and other minerals. The Arghan that live here are as vicious as they are resilient.
