Welcome to the Guild.

First, remember the primary definition of a desert is:

1. A barren or desolate area, especially:
a. A dry, often sandy region of little rainfall, extreme temperatures, and sparse vegetation.
b. A region of permanent cold that is largely or entirely devoid of life.
c. An apparently lifeless area of water.

So, unless the desert is supposed to be a Sahara type place, don;t worry too much.
