The Desert is a giant wasteland.  It is vast and barren.  Its main resident is sand and the scorching hot sun.  There is literally miles of nothing but dunes of sand as far as the eye is allowed to see.  There are jagged hills and mountains throughout  the desert but they are few and far between.

I am a god in the eyes of the villagers. I am regarded very highly as a god. People of the village pray to me for success in their crops as well as daily lives.
Tell me why, my child. You can pray to me for any reason. I am here to listen and guide you.  Oh my! My lord, is that really you!  It is me the creator. Don't you think my desert is gorgeous? Tell me why do you hate your king? Lord, of course all of creation is splendid and perfect in every way. The king, my lord, the king doth not respect your sacred creation. He oppresses your people, starves them, ignores them in their need! I shall smite him, my child. I will appoint a new king. The new king will have control of this vast desert. I shall create an oasis for the new kingdom. Are you hungry, my child? My lord, you are mighty and righteous. I am hungry. But I only have this in exchange. Thank you! All I ask of you is to be kind and honest. Here is some food. Nourish your soul and body.  Thank you, lord. Perhaps I have something better to offer you. Lord, I will give you my life. I will dedicate myself to this desert. I will be a humble king and servant if it might please you. It has been declared. You shall be the new king. You will be great. I will test you often. If you fail you shall know endless misery.  My lord, I will not fail you.  I have faith in you, my child. You will do great things for this barren desert. Your first task is to build a church. You will teach all of your people to worship me above all else.  It would be my pleasure! Question, how much blood must we draw from a sacrifice and how much must we consume to please you?
