The Desolate Sea is filled with islands known too well for their harsh living conditions. Many of them are long since abandoned, overgrown, or possibly even falling apart in some places— aside from the more populated areas, such as Sepsuthus of the Desert Region or parts of Disadattato Island. Due to the disrepair and harsh environment, explorers are recommended to come very prepared!
It's also best if you avoid the Lanier Islands, as they are rife with crime and danger. There's no knowing what trouble you may meet, and it may be worse than losing a coin pouch...
🎵 Relic Castle || Pokémon Black & White 🎵
These ruins are located just outside of Sepsuthus, over some dunes and down the way. The ruins are scattered throughout the desert and lay dormant beneath the sand for hundreds, maybe even thousands of years! Once you enter the grounds that surround these ruins, you’ll come to find that it’s actually a dungeon. Hieroglyphics plaster the destroyed walls of the ruins, and sand pours from the cracks in the ceiling. Lots of rock and ghost type Pokemon make their home in the dark ruins beneath the sand, shielding them from the intense heat of the world above them.Whether you’re here to study the ruins and the glyphs on the wall or tomb raiding, you best believe adventure and treasure is in store!

🎵 Withered Savannah || Gates to Infinity 🎵
This dry savannah sits at the edge of giant plateaus and crevices that look as if the gods of this land were beyond angry with the inhabitants. The valleys are low with several streams running through, and the acacia trees provide much needed shade from the harsh sunlight. Throughout the stay, maybe take a safari? You may come across some incredible Pokemon you’ve never seen before! It’s best to avoid the Pyroar prides however … they can be quite hostile!

Welcome to retirement! (Well it feels like it at least) On the middle section of the island is the friendliest of welcomes from some very odd misfits! They will offer you sweet tropical drinks and fun activities! It is located on the beach of the island and has many palm trees and jolly faces. Though… they seem to keep the attention away from the mass of palm forest behind the tropics.
What are they hiding? Or is it nothing?

This is the top left section of the island, and possibly one of the most dangerous parts of the island. Here several pokemon are resurrected from their past lives with a mysterious stone that reflects the moon in the only clearing in the forest. Many of these pokemon are lost, confused, or violent. Some did not want to come back, some are desperately searching for their past life. There are only a few pokemon who come to their senses and relive their life and make it off the island. Many other pokemon also take advantage of these pokemons feelings-- beware of those!

After checking behind the Triptrop, you find even more land on the island. There's a cryptic sign on the leafy path that says "We didn’t want you to see this!". What? In front of you lays an odd landscape of jungle, ice peaks, and savannah all mixed into one land. You could take one step and feel snow under your feet and a couple more feet you find yourself sweating in the savannah. Why is this so strange, and why are the Pokemon strange too? Should you really be here for retirement?

🎵 A Tavern for the Night || Peter Crowley 🎵
By the shore is a village made of quartz stone with castle-like buildings and tents in a market place, each new pokemon is different and magical in their own way! However, every resident seems to have a bad attitude, there are only few who are actually kind. Though one thing is for sure, each of these residents will try and take you on a quest of large difficulty! It might just be to do laundry but…

🎵 Chasm Cave || Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time & Darkness 🎵
Overgrown grass and vines mask the entrance into this chamber. The structure of the rock is old, crumbling down naturally almost looking untouched apart from the hand of nature. You might need to smash through some rocks to get through. The deeper you go into the dungeon the warmer it becomes, as well as large tunnel systems, it’s easy to get lost - do you risk stepping here?

The outside of this chamber has a chill to it, however you don’t realise that the rocky flooring had suddenly started to feel cold as ice until you enter. Somehow, the walls are covered completely in ice, the air is enough to chill your bones and there’s small rivers of water whose touch is enough to freeze your paws. Might want to bring something to help keep you warm!

🎵 Steam Cave || Pokémon Mystery Dungeon Explorers of Time & Darkness 🎵
Approaching this deep cavern, along the walls you can see shiny minerals, glittering at the dim light that was peeking up from holes in the ceiling. Echoing you could hear the rippling of water, hitting across the cobblestones, small rivers connecting through this cave, a closer look to the waters, you notice the glitter of something that seems to remind you of metals. Small carvings could be seen on the walls, what could it mean?

At first you thought the island was abandoned with no life, but as you go further onto the island you see lush overgrowth has made a vast jungle appear. Dangerous pokemon lurking in the bushes swing on the vines. You notice that the overgrowth has covered almost all ancient structures. This place has been reported to have suffered from natural disasters. You might want to bring something with you to cut through the vines!

Deep within the jungle, you come across a magnificent sight. Before you in a massive clearing stands hanging gardens; ascending, tiered landings made of white stone that are rich with greenery and cultivating diverse flora. It's almost as if every species of plant you could name from the varied corners of the world can be found here. And though the sun beats down upon the land, there is plenty of shade to be found by the many trees within. Canals cut through the terrain within and even form a moat outside, with water cascading freely from springs higher up and supplying the ecosystem with all it needs to sustain itself.
As you enter through the enormous arched entrance, you are greeted by the friendly faces of the myriad types of Pokemon who reside here. The gardens serve as a sanctuary and a place of respite for any and all. It is a place of beauty and appreciation for both the natural world and for those who inhabit it. The sights, scents, and sounds you are bombarded with as you are thrust into the environment are overwhelming and yet familiar and comforting all the same.
The farther you traverse however, as you venture into the darker parts of the gardens, not all of the Pokemon you come across are as welcoming as others. Despite peace being widely maintained throughout the gardens, the natural order does not always allow it to last...
Legendary dungeons may only be explored by characters of level 90 or higher!

A ravaged landscape that once was lush and beautiful is now as scarred and unforgiving as the Pokemon that reside there. Hastily made fortifications, rashly dug trenches, hidden campsites, and secret bases galore dot this active battlefield of a dungeon. Turned to desperation, its inhabitants have divided up into roving groups who only seek to rip each other apart to claim more resources, more territory. Dusty and dry, water is limited and dust storms are common with damage to the earth itself and signs of struggles everywhere. The Pokemon here fight to the end only to desperately scrap for survival another day. This torn-up Dungeon is hazardous to traverse, there are few places to hide and all the wild Pokemon are very much on edge and will often move in groups and set ambushes.
Take heed all who may enter, the blood feuds that fuel this place are older than you and run deeper than any wound.

🎵 Nothing Left || Brown Bird 🎵
At first glance, it seems just like a normal, dusty plain but travel inward and you’ll see remnants of life. A town was built here, long ago, now lays half-buried in the sands and dirt. The roofs of buildings, carriages overturned and left abandoned, all manner of abandoned society stick out from the ground. Once a home to many, it seems like it was cleared out near overnight, like its residents just disappeared. It’s almost entirely devoid of life - you shouldn’t hear anything in theory but voices seem to echo in the wind, a soft breath calling you deeper into the dungeon. Maybe it’s all in your head. But then again, maybe it's not.
Not everyone had time to get out.

Formerly the crown jewel of Lanier, the mines which once brought wealth and fortune have been long since stripped clean of any precious gems. Now they only serve as a safe-haven for bandits, thieves, cons, and other criminals. The former mines are unstable, deep, twisting tunnels hiding treasures, and dangers, untold. Near the surface of the mines, there are (overwhelmingly crooked) merchant stalls and other less than savory establishments. Old wanted Posters litter the ground and walls. The deeper you go, the more sparse light becomes and the more apparent it is that these mine shafts are unstable and abandoned, bits of rail and old equipment laying around rusting or even crushed under debris and cobwebs covering what little traces remain of workers that were here long ago.
This is a place criminals come to conduct business.
Be warned; you may hear things that you regret.
