 * Ariant


 * Region: Nihal Desert
 * Roads: Burning Road, Sunset Road & Hidden Street

Ariant is a new Arabic town reached via a flying Genie located in Orbis. It has a Free Market Entrance and a World Tour NPC as well. The monsters are surprisingly weak for Ossyria. It's a desert themed area with monsters to fit. They range from snakes and sand rabbits to cacti and the sandman. Inside the town is a refining factory for processing Lithium ores located in the sands, as well as a lot of empty houses and some shady characters that look like mercenaries and assassins. Near there is a Palace, only accessible when doing a special quest. North of Ariant lies the town of Magatia.
 * Directly outside of town to the right are swarms of Sand rabbits of both genders. Small Oases are located throughout the area, providing cool spots in the desert. Plenty of rest platforms can be found on every map, where a player can set up their chair and take a break from the heat. Traveling a little further, one stumbles across the Earmuff Frill'd, the poorly dressed lizard monsters. NPCs are commonly found out here, many wielding swords. The next monster a player encounters in the desert is the Bellimore, a relatively large snake that doesn't flinch easily, and attacks by barreling into the victim. The path through the desert loops around to the other side of town, but not before passing through a town occupied by Katus and Royal Katus. Giant cactus houses can be seen in the background, complete with doors and windows. Finally, Jr. Katus are roaming around the right side entrance of the town of Ariant.
 * There is another path that contains monsters, accessed from the center of town, as opposed to either of the far ends. This path leads to the town of Magatia. The first species encountered is the Meerkats, among the toughest of Ariant's monsters. After traveling in this direction for a few maps, the sun begins to set and the area darkens to match Magatia's theme. Kiyo vultures and Sand Dwarves are keeping watch on the desert floor. The ruins of buildings can be seen, sinking into the sand. In the final maps of Ariant, huge sand monsters with trees emerging from their heads walk, ready to defeat any traveler attempting to reach Magatia.

Ariant is currently only available in KoreaMS, JapanMS and ChinaMS.
