Wastes

''The Wastes are a legend unto themselves. To say the Grey Wastes were eerie wouldn't be doing them justice. The sand, or dust, of the Waste had a silver sheen to it, and it got into everything, causing the world to shimmer. The dust slowly began to cover all of them, until ones own companions also begin to shimmer. It was said that no one could count on anything in the Grey Waste, not even themselves.''

The Wastes (or 'Grey Wastes') are where most of the remaining Monsters on Cainin live, like Shesepankh. The Wastes are also the only place the mineral raxlith can be mined. Because of this, the mage Raxlith built his tower in the Wastes. Cainin is also 'weak' in the Wastes, as in physical laws do not seem to consistently work the deeper one travels into the Wastes.

Humans and beasts both avoid the Wastes, except when both marched an army into the Wastes in an attempt to stop the first Worldbreaker.
