# Land Biomes
Each biome is unique, affecting the appearance of a Land and providing the context for the richer narrative background that will emerge as the game evolves.
## **Barren Sands**
For years, the wind has devoured the exposed rocks - rock forests - sticking out of the endless sands. Dust rivers slide between them, twisting among the dunes and flowing into the Ocean of Desolation. Spots of hard ground are covered with cracks; through them, gasses escape from the underground.
## Glacier Wasteland
Chilling inhospitable lands covered with snow. Beneath them hide vast oceans of thick, viscous acid. The secrets of the planet's dark past are buried here.
## Obsidian Badlands
Extremely abundant volcanic activity and abnormally high temperatures produce the lowest oxygen level on the planet. Never-hardening lava flows, saturated with molten metals, carve their way through ashen plains and obsidian rocks.
## Blood Basin
Millennia ago, a wide variety of life forms once flourished here. Today red semi-sentient moss blankets the surface of these lands, giving the basins a distinct red color, and a wealth of organic resources can be found beneath the surface of this biome. This land is magnificent and still during the day, but transforms into something enigmatic during the night.
