It is physically infertile for magical reasons. Just like other places are physically fertile for magical reasons. Prax is not a desert, but there isn't the right amount of water available. When it rains, it is heavy rain. It washes away the surface, it settles in huge puddles on the hard earth, it collects in 'serpents' and makes wadis dangerous places to be in due to flash floods. Occasionally it doesn't rain in places for years. It is not 'average' rainfall that counts but the distribution and retention of that rainfall.
<<, a campaign
based around
resurrecting Genert sounds like a lot of fun to me. Didn't someone
mention that
they were doing this? Would they like to tell us how it is going?>>
I was going to set a campaign during the founding of Pavis (Old Pavis) where there are (or were going to be) assorted nefarious plots to ressurect Genert (not least by the Issaries cult and Caarith the Desert Tracker). It is still in development.
