Stale Desert

The Stale Desert is a land of unmoving sand because their is no wind that passes through this land. At one time there were great winds that ravaged this area, breaking down anything that wasn't sand into new sand which built up this area into the mass that it is. It is unknown what fully happened to cause these winds to die, all that is known that the force cause an abrupt change and froze all the sand in place.

Areas in the desert after the stagnation gained land masses such as these (fig 1) where the largest recorded mass is 200km high.

However desolate, the Stale desert is still home to many creatures and contains the largest amount of skeleton[Link once page is made] tribes in Eä. The sand serves as an easily molded surface and masses can be dug into to create shelter, homes, or even cities.

Sand Physics
As stated, after a phenomenon the sand is frozen, possibly in time, definitely in space. It is still able to be moved by touch but it is unknown if this is actively moving it in our dimension or another because the sand does not sink due to the normal conventions of Eä gravity. Other beings in the Stale Desert do not seem affected by this lack of gravity, only the sand. In essence, there much be some other vertical force counter acting gravity equally and gradually, as well as equal forces on either side of the sand horizontally to be able to hold it in place. However, most beings, even skeletons that have no muscle, are able to move the sand with ease, so the forces all must be constantly adjusting to new stimulai that work against the sand.

The full reason of why the sand is still is unknown.
