Sophanem also originates from that age, but was only small Menaphite camp at the time. The small menaphite tribe later grew into an enormous kingdom ruled by a pharaoh king or queen. Somewhere around the beginning of the second age, Tumeken blessed the southern lands with his deity, called it Kharidian, and brought his followers into the area to live on. The former temple of Amascut, after it was destroyed. Those who joined Tumeken later became known as the Menaphites. Many human tribes chose their own god to follow. One of these gods was called Tumeken, god of Sun and heat. Years later, many other gods entered Gielinor. When Guthix finished his work, he fell in deep slumber to regain his power. Although Guthix brought many races to Gielinor, Kharidian was uninhabited and unnamed until the second age. At least the Eastern Kharidian was heavily wooded and rich in resources back then. When the god Guthix shaped the realm of Gielinor, he also shaped the area which is now known as the Kharidian desert at the south. The Kharidian Desert has the oldest known human civilisation from the midpoint of the Second Age or even earlier, descending even from the time when the human first came to Gielinor. Yet even here civilisation has emerged, and great rewards await those with the courage and ability to travel into its wastes! Indeed, the Kharidian Desert has earned its reputation as dangerous, merciless, and unyielding. Many have entered the desert, never to return. The vultures circle overhead, eating the corpses of those that the desert bested, and packs of starving wolves search endlessly for prey, their hunger never sated. The blazing sun watches tirelessly from the sky, slowly draining the life of all that walks beneath it.
Here the scorching desert winds blast the sand, turning the dunes into a sea. The Kharidian Desert is largely open land, seemingly untouched since the God Wars. The plagues in Sophanem have been blamed on this, as well as incorrect burial practices. This is demonstrated in the greedy, mercantile spirit of Pollnivneach and the destruction of the statue of Elidinis in Nardah. Most of the peoples of the desert are worshippers of Tumeken and the Desert Pantheon, although in recent times the population has started to abandon the old Gods and begin worshipping other entities. Elspeth Citharede, which was founded around 99 of the Fifth Age by Saradominist nuns. East of Al Kharid is the even newer Abbey of St. The most modern settlement in the desert is Al Kharid, having been built in around 1950 in the Fourth age by settlers crossing the River Lum in Misthalin. It is this that has attracted so many archaeologists and explorers to the area, but not without consequence. As a result, it is amongst the most history-rich and treasure-filled areas in the world. The desert is the home to some of the oldest civilisations in Gielinor, ranging from the Menaphites that built the cities of Ullek and Uzer to the bandits that are all that remain of the followers of Zaros.
The Kharidian Desert is a vast land found south of the wooded kingdom of Misthalin and Morytania.
