Rantar Desert
Part of project: Rantar Desert .
A 49 km² desert island, the surviving fragment of a much larger island lost to flooding, with scattered settlements, ruins, and unusual places to explore.
Rantar Desert is a 49 km² island dominated by a dry, desertic landscape. It is the remaining portion of a much larger island that was partially swallowed by a long-ago flood. Its isolated landscapes contain a variety of places to discover, from old fortresses and abandoned cities to oases, gardens, and strange installations.
The island can be explored through its different destinations, each offering its own atmosphere and history. Vankh-Junction serves as the main arrival point and hub, while locations such as Khos Island and Kantina Oasis offer quieter places to stop. Other destinations reveal remnants of Rantar's past, including the ruins of Dead Town, the unfinished Fallen Walled Garden, and the White Cathedral on the highlands.
