The Desert

The Desert is an important location in Season 3 of the Minecraft Series, being located near the Carnival Del Banjo and Verigan's Hold. The Desert, making up the Sands, was an infection or disease and was created during a summer that never ended, an event referred to by Skylord_Lysander as the Sand War. The Wall was constructed to halt the spread of the Desert. During the final battle with the entity that had created the Desert (most likely Israphel), Verigan Antioch was killed. Some fans believe he was killed by falling down a hole on the way to the battle, but this is unlikely. Verigan's son, Karpath Antioch, survived the battle and returned to Verigan's Hold. After recovery, he founded the Crimson Cross, and established The Templars. Strangely, a month after he returned, he vanished, and has not been seen since. The Templars still await his return.
