The Blighted Desert is a desert that's mentioned in Might and Magic: The Sea of Mist. It is the home of the dwarven village of Cor-Amyr, as well as the evil Black Forge dwarves. When Praz-El was eleven, a dwarven mage at Cor-Amyr sent a message to his foster father, Magistrate Bo, telling him that the local miners had found a couple of old buildings underground. The buildings were slowly sinking into the shifting sands, and they wanted him to explore them. The area was dangerous, as the dwarves at Cor-Amyr had just been betrayed into slavery to the Black Forge dwarves, but Bo decided to travel there with his foster son.
