Salt Flat

Expansive salt flat with cracked white crust under harsh sun, mirage-prone. Barren expanse. Chapter 61.

The Salt Flat first materializes in Dark Age as a vast, unforgiving expanse of cracked white crust baking beneath a merciless sun, its mirage-prone surface amplifying the desolation of the saga's later conflicts. This barren landscape embodies the harsh environmental trials that test the characters' endurance and strategic cunning amid escalating wars. Though its role remains localized to the events of book five, the Salt Flat underscores the saga's recurring themes of survival in hostile terrains that mirror the fractured societies within the Red Rising universe.
