An endless desert, stretching into the horizon with nearly no means of escape once entered. "The Shifts" as it's known for it's constantly moving nature, is a vast sandbox with temperatures generally in the 90's going as high as 130 degree's. Air as dry as can be surrounds oneself, the sun never clouded, constantly beating down. Beast and man both take refuge here, both sharing the same food source, anyone foolhardy enough to enter.
