	Si Wong Rock A gigantic mesa that rises from the center of the rolling dunes of the Si Wong Desert, looming imposingly over the landscape. Considering its flat, barren surroundings, the mesa would appear supernaturally out of place. Ancient Sandbender lore tells that the rock was dropped from the heavens by the gods as a demonstration of their potent power and incense when human inhabitants had stopped abiding by the rules of their priests. Regardless of its true origin, the rock is the only notable landscape feature of the barren desert, aside from the now completely buried library, and is thus used as a guidepost by the Sandbenders or any others who traverse through the Si Wong. In addition to being a visual landmark, the rock is also composed of a metallic ore that gives it magnetic qualities, allowing the Sandbenders to create compasses that work throughout the desert, giving them their location in relation to the rock. Atop of rock stands a large hive home to a colony of carnivorous Buzzard-Wasps who are known to immediately defend their home against anyone who disturbs.

	Wan Shi Tong's Spirit Library An ancient structure built and passed over from the Spirit world to the physical world by the knowledge spirit Wan Shi Tong several thousand years ago for the purpose of the preservation of all the world's knowledge for the betterment of humanity. While it was once a huge palatial structure, a large majority of was buried beneath the sands of the Si Wong and only its top most spire was visible from the desert. With the assistance of his knowledge seekers, the library has built up an enormous collection, though a portion of it has been destroyed by the Fire Nation. The library also holds an advanced, domed planetary calender room constructed from various fine materials including phosphorescent crystals, jade, and brass. Using its gears, cogs, crystal-projected stars, as well as several rotating planets, the planetarium acts as a kind of almanac, illustrating both recorded history as well as projected future planetary alignments. The library has now been completely buried underneath the desert sands by Wan Shi Tong in an effort to prevent his knowledge from ever being misused.

Board Information & Statistics

Si Wong Desert

Otherwise known as the "Desert of the Dead", the Si Wong Desert holds the driest, hottest environment of the world and is really nothing more than miles of barren sand. Only a select few are mentally and physically capable of surviving in this desert, let alone navigate through it, for an extended period of time. However, certain desert-dwelling peoples such as the Sandbenders and the Bedouin merchants have come to adapt to the habitat. Nevertheless, even they can find themselves victims to common habital afflictions such as starvation, dehydration and skin cancer. The desert's ecosystem is primarily consisted of cacti and a few scavenger species such as the Gilacorn and the large predatory insectoid Buzzard-Wasp.
