Barren Strip

The Barren Strip is a thin section of Aleph subject to extremely strong winds. Running North to South, these winds have stripped the area totally bare of soil, carving a wide canyon that goes all the way across the continent. It is unlivable and extremely difficult to cross, separating the Outlands and Terra Cognita like an invisible wall. In addition to biting winds and lack of supplies, The Barren Strip are also inhabited by numerous elementals, which seem able to spring from any location at any given time.
