The Dunes are a desert realm south of The Shores, made up of three connected realms — The Dunes East, The Dunes West, and The Dunes South. Heat drains your HP over time, ordinary food stops working, and open PvP applies outside the fenced camps. King Scorpia rules the southern sands.

Entry: Walk to the south edge of The Shores or south from The Pond — neither door has a level requirement. You get a 30-second heat grace on arrival; dying in the Dunes respawns you at The Shores.

For the full v5.3 patch (Smithing, armor, Hard Scrolls, stack size changes), see Update:Dunes.
