Before is became a desert, Hadarac Desert was a grassland and home to Dwarves, as well as the Ancestral home of the Dragons. Punishing wheather made it almost impossible for inexperienced travelers to survive in the Hadarac. The land was scorching hot in the mornings and cold at night. The desert had many sand dunes and very sparse vegetation. Sand storms often raged across the area.

* Nomadic tribes
* Ulgers (view spoiler)[Urgals are roughly humanoid in appearance, with grayish skin, bowed legs and thick arms. They have yellow, piggish eyes, claws on their hands in place of nails and a pair of long, twisted horns protruding from above their ears. Urgals can be anywhere from six to nine feet tall: an Urgal's height depends mostly on heredity factors. Urgals usually have seven toes on each foot as dwarves do, although both rather believe it be the creativity of their deities than any possible relation.
Female Urgals are somewhat slimmer than their male counterparts, though just as tall. While still massive, their horns tended to be shorter and more delicate. Urgal children often accompanied the dams. Children who have not yet grown their horns look surprisingly similar to human children (excepting the difference in skin and eye color).
Although Humans and dwarves think of them merely as bloodthirsty beasts, Urgal mothers care well for their young. Their entire culture revolves around violence and physical strength: one's prestige being directly connected with how many kills one had or how many opponents they had beaten in combat, as well as their size and the size of their horns. Their horns are a sign of pride, if an Urgal were to lose his horns it would be equivalent to being stripped of his being and manhood.
While Urgals have, on average, lifespans similar to humans, they are stronger and faster, and can run for much longer distances than any human or dwarf. This, as can be observed, makes them subject to tales of beasts among other species. (hide spoiler)]
*Slavers and bandits
*Kull (view spoiler)[ Kull were especially large Urgals. Kull were born as Urgals and through their growth, they grew progressively larger until they were above eight feet tall. Also, when they are born they have no horns but as they grow they slowly get them. They were then called Kull. This happened, according to an ancient elf, because the 'Old Blood' flowed in their veins. They could run for days without rest, with endurance rivaling those of elves or even exceeding them and were fast as horses (yet slower than elves). Kull lived for approximately sixty years, about the same as a human, though they were too heavy to ride horses. (hide spoiler)]
