A vast desert in the south of the continent of Ossyria. The environment is harsh due to its hot, dry climate and sandstorms. However, a good few have made their home around the Refreshing Oasis regardless.

― In-game description for Nihal Desert

Nihal Desert is one of the seven Ossyrian subcontinents, consisting of a desert encompassing Ariant, Magatia, and Azwan. Ariant is the first town players will usually end up in when traveling here, and is connected to the Sunset Road to the north which leads to both Azwan and Magatia. This region can be accessed via airship by talking to Geras the Cabin Crew at Orbis's Station to Ariant.

On this continent, 10 maps can be visited to obtain the Medal  Nihal Desert Explorer. Ariant contains 1 field boss: Deo, an ancient cactus. Magatia contains 3 field bosses: Rurumo, an enhanced Rumo that roams the Zenumist Society, Security Camera, which patrols the Alcadno Society for trespassers, and Chimera, a strange fusion of both Zenumist's and Alcadno's alchemy. The Major Boss Hilla can be fought in Azwan.

Towns / Regions

Ariant

Main article: Ariant

Ariant is a town built around an oasis in the heat of the desert. The citizens live in poverty while the Queen is extremely rich. There is a group of bandits whose aim is to get the riches from her Palace and give them to the poor.

Sunset Road

Main article: Sunset Road

Sunset Road is located to the north of Ariant, serving as a passageway between Ariant and Magatia, with Azwan also accessible along the way. The sun sets more as you travel closer to the nighttime setting of Magatia. The Camel Cab is present at both ends of the region, allowing you to travel between Ariant to Magatia for 1,500 Mesos.

Azwan

Main article: Azwan

Azwan is an ancient city where Hilla, one of the Black Mage's commanders, once lived. The city remained lost after Hilla handed over the city and souls of its residents to the Black Mage in exchange for eternal life, power, and beauty. Azwan has recently been rediscovered with Hilla's recent reappearance. Players can fight the Major Boss Hilla here.

Magatia

Main article: Magatia

Magatia is an alchemy town built in the desert where two alchemy factions dispute over their methodology: the Zenumists who use pure magic and science in alchemy, and the Alcadnos who add machinery into life forms. Players come here to settle the dispute and end up learning that the town's foundation is rooted in the studies of the Black Mage.

Trivia
