The Salt March is a vast salt desert in Mara's Scar, stretching across buried imperial roads, ancient military fields, and scattered wells that still answer magical commands. Caravans cross its flats under mercenary protection, while settlements gather around brine pockets, ruins, and trade stations. Every spell leaves a scar nearby, making magic visible, costly, and feared. Beneath the dunes, forgotten armies wait for water, orders, and a reason to march again.

Field Observations

Travelers need covered water stores because salt wind ruins open containers.,Caravans follow old imperial markers even when the buried roads shift.,Magical wells can alter nearby terrain whenever spells are cast beside them.

Cultures

Salt-road caravan clans value hospitality, debtkeeping, and practical magic.

Descendants of imperial soldiers preserve martial customs, burial rites, and ruined banners.

Well-tenders follow strict water laws and treat underground magic as sacred danger.
