-An entryway to the east, it also served as a homeland to generations of migrants, who considered Duls their real home, as opposed to [[Western Dantria]]. The only reason why having a direct lineage to the first-comers was considered extremely prestigious was the pride of being the descendants of someone who had crossed the Giant Desert.

 Being a resident at Duls Settlements became a rite of passage for the New Dawn migrants. Even being related to residents of Duls meant a higher standing in the New Dawn society, since it meant that one's close family made it through the arduous Ouna journey and survived in the arid plains of Duls.
+===== Geography and climate =====
+Duls Settlements are plains that stretch for over 1800 kilometers. They feature a hot semi-arid climate, with sparse vegetation and a limited fauna. Summers are extremely hot, winters are cool and with little precipitation. Sand storms are frequent.
+===== Economy =====
+Duls had basic agriculture and farming, but also relied on limited trade with Leykarya and even Tuntan. Life at Duls, however, was typically harsh, and water and food were scarce. The settlements, distributed over almost 2000 km, were separated by long stretches of unpopulated areas.
+===== Towns =====
+Ouna Town, located to the west, was a town that was primarily used as storage. Ouna's population consisted of merchants dealing with Leykarya and Tuntan, and firms that would take up storing, guarding and transporting the merchandise. Most permanent residents of Duls lived in Ouna Town.
+[[Barzo]] was a town to the east and became the welcoming grounds of the New Dawn.
+Both Barzo and Ouna provided papers that would verify one as being a resident of Duls. Later, the stamp from Ouna Town was considered as more genuine, as Barzo became a large city by the beginning of the 17th century and would attract many easterners, even those that have never lived at Duls.
