The Ousreft Wastes is a wasteland located on the edge of the Hobgoblin Lands. There are a few thin rivers that provide water for drought resistant shrubs that grow in the desert. Lizards, reptiles, birds, insects, and small mammals survive in the dawn and dusk hours. The sun is too hot during the day for activity in the chaparral environment. At night, spirits wander the land making it risky for any living creature to be out after dark.

Goblins view the Ousreft Wastes as a sacred land. The desert blesses goblins with visions when they walk through it. The prophetic hallucinations provide a chaotic glimpse of the future. These visions are interpreted by oracles at Untalpid to clarify the meaning of the visions. Non-goblins can attempt a vision quest as well, but the Ousreft is goblin territory and the spirits are not forgiving of trespassers.
