There's a popular rumour that the sand of the West moves. It is why the Dessert had become one of the three popular places where Dragons lay their eggs.
For an egg laid at one location could be carried far deep underground to another location. Owing to the fact that the dessert spanned across lands so vast a full round journey on foot could take one week, it makes it a rather tough place for Egg Hunters and Egg Stealers to find Dragon Eggs.

XANDER'S POV
"What brings you to our dreary lands?" Alaric Baldrig asked while leading Xander to an office at the small fortress, completely ignoring the disgruntlement of the giant captain behind them.
Xander smiled easily and told him the same tale of how he had fallen off Carex while journeying with Zaren. He supposed logically, that story of his was flawed in many respects, but Alaric believed it easily as he had expected.
