Sumeru Desert Information

Half of the Sumeru Region

The region of Sumeru is divided into two large areas: the Rainforest area and the Desert area. The Sumeru Desert is both made up of the The Great Red Sand area and the Desert of Hadramaveth area. Check out our full Sumeru Guide here to learn more about the Dendro nation!

Sumeru Region Map Guide

The Great Red Sand

The Sumeru Desert is the collective term for the region's desert area, but most of its area is referred to as the The Great Red Sand, presumably a homage to the Scarlet King, King Deshret.

The Great Red Sand Map Guide

The Desert of Hadramaveth

The newest area located north of Hypostyle Desert is the Desert of Hadramaveth, emblematic of its huge desert devil in the middle. The Desert of Hadramaveth is home to a number of ancient oases and ruins, and more vicious enemies to boot.

New 3.6 Desert Area Map

The New 3.6 Desert Area Map was announced during the 3.6 livestream and will release once Version 3.6 is here on April 12, 2023!

3.6 Desert Area Map Guide

Home to the Desert Folk

The Deserts of Sumeru is home to the Eremites, a desert folk group that makes a living by selling their wisdom and strength as mercenaries. Since hail from the desert area, it seems like the majority of them worship the Scarlet King (King Deshret).

King Deshret Ruled the Deserts

The Scarlet King or better known as King Deshret was the one who founded the desert nation in Sumeru and as such many of the desert folk worship him as the true God of Wisdom.
