No one really bothered with the Stinging Winds desert area until about 400 years ago, when precious ore was found there and [[Alcarnus]] as well as many smaller settlements appeared to do mining. The discovery of the [[Dahlgur]] oasis and a third town in the Borderlands made the area full of life and trade.
 
 
In later years, Hakan II has seen fit to withdraw the support of [[Caldeum]] from the wastes and leave those who live there to their own devices. At the moment, no caravan is safe and refugees from the Borderlands come to Caldeum every day.
 
 
The refugees report on cultist activities in the area and in Alcarnus.
 
 
The Stinging Winds area is reasonably closely located to the Sundered Pass, from where help has been sent.
 
 
Besides dangerous animals and [[demon]]ic monsters, the land is populated with tiny desert creatures, snakes and insects, that are less dangerous.
