On the fertile continent of Ubuntuhuru where-in all treasures and sorts of exotic things may be found, the Harmattan, a dry, northeasterly wind has consumed the upper edges of the continent turning it into a vast expanse of dunes and the Sirocco another wind, hot, dry and originating from this wilderness blows northwards, compounding the desert's unforgiving nature.
 This blight on the Blessed bountiful land is called the Osu desert. Inhabitants in the infradunes (below the desert) have built a great green wall to halt the expanse of the Osu desert. When people commit cultural abominations they are exiled to the Osu desert.
