Geography
Topography
While Vyper is truly one massive sea of sand there is some variation in its geography. The landscape consists heavily of dry earth and sand shaped by wind, creating enormous sand dunes and wildly shaped sandstone rocky plateaus. Vegetation is very scarce thought the majority of the country, instead appearing mostly on steppes, plains with very short grass. The sandy desert dunes give way to more rocky terrain on the regions nearest to the volcano, gravel plains turn into desert massifs composed of a mix of sandstone and volcaniclastics from thousand years old eruptions. Dry lakes also appear but only around the area that divides Vyper and Ha'zaar, since those are the only places where rain could possibly happen frequently enough for them to form.
The climate is, predictably, incredibly hot, dry and stable, with a permanent absence of clouds which allows the sun to beat down onto the earth unhindered; in some extreme cases during Glimmer the weather has become so unbearable and dangerous the population of Vyper was heavily advised to stay fully indoors else they risk burning themselves alive. Nights are the polar opposite, with absolutely freezing temperatures that could possibly freeze someone to death if they do not have sufficient shelter. Though the inhabitants of the country; be they people, creatures or plants; have adapted accordingly to the unforgiving conditions of the desert, they do have to rarely face a unique problem — specifically the plants. There have been very few and very rare cases where the unpredictable weather of Ha'zaar has spilled over to Vyper territory, bringing sudden rains and consequently killing a vast amount of flora since those had fully adapted to the ever dry land; essentially, the plants drowned.
Fire and earth are the most prominent types of aether in the region, followed by wind.
