The Termool is a barren desert lying in the southernmost area of the Aiel Waste, north of the Sea of Storms, and east of Stedding Shangtai, Mayene, and the Drowned Lands. Its eastern limits are bounded by an immense canyon known as the Great Rift. The Termool is so dry and desolate that even Aiel will not travel there. The sand dunes of the area are constantly drifting, sometimes reaching heights of three hundred feet. Fierce, sudden windstorms, which can last for several days, are common. As a consequence, water is impossible to find and the Termool is utterly devoid of life.[1]
