It was Fyros miners who, in their endless search for the Fyrak^[1], first came across a Kitin nest in the Prime Roots and triggered the destruction of the Empire and the devastation of every one of the homin civilizations. Ever since, they harbor a feeling of moral responsibility which is manifested in the proud Fyros as a thirst for vengeance.
    
    The Kitin is considered as the ultimate big game and true born Fyros will test their combative skills and courage during the hunt! Indeed, even before the call of war, the previous Fyros emperor, Dexton, was able to build up a reputation as a formidable Kitin killer and so gain credibility to muster and command his first Fyros battalion.
    
    In keeping with their drive for knowledge, the Fyros have been trying to explain the mystery of the Kitin swarming. It is widely believed that the Kitins were born of the Dragon to keep the homin populations in check. The Fyros, then, not only purposely pursue the Kitins for sport and to keep their populations down, but also to find out what they are about.
    
    Desert Kitins have a red outer shell. As if in defiance of Fyros Kitin control programs, the Kitin population is relatively high in Burning Desert.
    
    The safest region in Burning Desert is naturally Imperial Dunes where Pyr is situated and which was the first region to be secured. The only Kitin found there is the kipee, harmless if left alone and useful for its carcass once hunted. Oflovak's Oasis is home to the kipee and the kizoar, a flying scavenger Kitin. Frahar Towers and Sawdust Mines host the kipee, kizoar as well as the kincher, a hunter Kitin, and the kipesta, a winged Kitin scout.
    
    In the most dangerous regions, as well as the aforementioned Kitins and the collecting kiban, the seasoned traveler will also watch out for the kirosta, a formidable soldier Kitin, and the kipucka, a migrant Kitin whose large abdomen allows it to carry resources and larvae to new territory.
