Description

Kerath Prime is a world of sandstorms whose sky stays grey through the ash seasons. On the southern edge of the Grey Mountain Range, above a valley of sulphur and boiled rock, hangs the Precinct Fortress Eloeth, seat of the Order of the Glowing Roses; the world also holds the Green Plains.
Home world of: The Order of the Glowing Roses (chapter).

Fauna & Flora

Dunes of red sand, a grey dust sky in the ash periods; on the Green Plains steppe grass and desert roses that bloom only after a storm, and jerboas that know the sand better than the people do.

Population & Society

Some tens of thousands of people, some in the Precinct Fortress Eloeth, the rest in settlements on the Green Plains that are not exposed to the storms. The Order of the Glowing Roses takes its novices from the villages that still bury their dead in sand coffins.
