désertsaaret

Désertsaaret is a fictional archipelago located in an unnamed ocean, serving as a prominent setting in a series of adventure novels. The islands are characterized by their arid climate and rugged, rocky terrain, giving rise to their evocative name which translates from French to "desert islands." Despite their harsh environment, the islets support a surprising variety of hardy flora and fauna, adapted to survive with minimal water. These include drought-resistant succulents, migratory birds, and small, burrowing mammals.

Historically, the désertsaaret have been depicted as a place of refuge and mystery. Legends within the novel's narrative suggest that ancient civilizations once inhabited the islands, leaving behind enigmatic ruins and scattered artifacts. These remnants are often central to the plot, with protagonists seeking to decipher their meaning or uncover hidden treasures. The islands' remote location and treacherous surrounding waters have also made them a haven for pirates and smugglers throughout the fictional history, adding to their reputation as a dangerous and alluring destination. Access to the désertsaaret is typically portrayed as difficult, requiring skilled navigation and a considerable degree of bravery. The islands are not officially recognized and exist solely within the fictional universe they inhabit.
