The Adarkar Wastes are barren wastes located on the western shore of the island of New Argive, one of the Terisian Isles on the world of Dominaria.

History

During the Ice Age era, the Adarkar Wastes were an expansive, frozen land, barren and flat. The wastes were located between the Yavimaya River and the Kher Ridges, covering the former river plain of the Mardun, and stretching into what was previously known as the Great Desert.

The Wastes were populated by giants, unicorns, yetis and mysterious artificial sentinels. The great Kjeldoran hero General Jarkeld disappeared in the Adarkar Wastes and is believed to have perished there.

Come the Thaw, the Flooding of Terisiare created the Sea of Laments, covering much of the landscape of the Adarkar Wastes, leaving only a much smaller remnant of wastes bordering the new sea. While the surface of the wastes had melted and become free of ice, they were still barren, although numerous holes led to chambers and underground villages beneath the wastes.

In 3245 AR, Xantcha and Ratepe came to the Adarkar Wastes after spending three days crossing the Sea of Laments. They found a goatherd in an oasis, who pointed them southeast towards Koilos.

During the Mirage War, Sisay located the Juju Bubble, a piece of The Legacy, in the Wastes. She took the Skyship Weatherlight there, and recovered the artifact after a fight with a mech leftover from the Brothers' War.
