Misty Palms Oasis Main article: Misty Palms Oasisīy 171 AG, the Misty Palms Oasis had grown to the size of a small town. The rock contains a large hive home to a colony of carnivorous buzzard wasps, who are known to immediately defend their home against anyone who disturbs. In addition to being a visual landmark, the rock is also composed of a metallic ore that gives it magnetic qualities, allowing the sandbenders to create compasses that work throughout the desert, giving them their location in relation to the rock. Regardless of its true origin, the rock is the only notable landscape feature of the barren desert, aside from the now completely buried library, and is thus used as a guidepost by the sandbenders or any others who traverse through the region. Ancient sandbender lore tells that the formation was dropped from the heavens by the gods as a demonstration of their great power and anger when human inhabitants had stopped abiding by the rules of their priests. Considering its flat, barren surroundings, the rock would appear supernaturally out of place. The Si Wong Rock is a gigantic geological formation that rises from the center of the rolling dunes of the Si Wong Desert, looming imposingly over the landscape. Si Wong Rock is the only geological feature rising above the flat expanse of the desert. Īfter the Harmonic Convergence of 171 AG, spirits began to roam the world freely and some of them settled at the Misty Palms Oasis in the Si Wong Desert. It is also home to large sand sharks, which are known to attack people and their ships. The desert's ecosystem primarily consists of hallucinogenic cacti, a few scavenger species such as the gilacorns, and the predatory buzzard wasps. Nevertheless, even they can find themselves victims to common habitual afflictions such as starvation, dehydration, and skin cancer.
However, certain desert-dwelling peoples, such as the sandbenders and the beetle-headed merchants, have successfully adapted to the environment.
Only a select few are mentally and physically capable of surviving in this desert for an extended period of time, let alone navigating through it. It housed the largest library in the world before the structure was returned to its original home in the Spirit World.
Otherwise known as the "Desert of the Dead", the Si Wong Desert is the driest, hottest environment in the world, consisting of miles of barren sand.
