The Plain of Sorrow is a dreary, inhospitable region that is covered in a fine, ruddy orange dirt that is just moist enough to stick to everything a traveler owns, but not so moist as to be of any use for the reclamation of water. Nothing edible grows here and the land is almost completely flat with only the occasional swell to the ground, although most are not even tall enough to obscure a traveler's line of sight, insuring that they can always see the far-off, bleak, dark, forboding horizion.
There is almost no small game here although the occasional creeping weed or shrub may attract some tiny rodents to its roots, since its leaves are completely inedible. This terrain goes on for thousands of miles and is only broken up by the occasional landmark.
In the northeastern part of the Plain of Sorrow stands the ominous mountain of Bête Noire with its patron city sprawled around its base. Somewhere in the northwestern are of the region stand the ruined pyramids of some ancient, lost civilization, now inhabited by their undead remains.
In the south of the region is the dessicated remains of a once great forest that surrounds the Dead Sea.
It is rumored that somewhere in the middle of this horrid place lay two landmarks of significance, one being the castle of the Lich King, the other being an ancient templ of unknown origin and pupose.
