The Burning Desert, also known as the Burning Deserts or the Great Deserts, is one of the lands of Avalon in Princess Gwenevere and the Jewel Riders. It is a dry and dusty place full of magical mirages, composed of vast deserts at the western fringe of the Kingdom of Avalon.
Locations shown on the map are the Cactus Valley, and the Rock Desert close to the Jungle. A Travel Trees ring of magic palm trees in a Desert oasis appears in the episode "Travel Trees Can't Dance". The titular area of the Great Plains from the episode "Badlands" is a rocky desert near the Burning Desert.
The Burning Desert and its Crown Jewel, the Desert Star Jewel, are prominently featured in the episode "The Faery Princess" where a portal to the Rainbow Bridge to Faeryland opens there. There are also other secret doorways into other lands of outside of Avalon.
Behind the scenes[]
The Dragon Beach area from the episode "Travel Trees Can't Dance" was originally placed at the coast of the Burning Desert before being relocated to the Misty Moors on the other side of Avalon.
In Avalon: Web of Magic, there are places called Fire Desert and Wizards Crossing in the world of Aldenmor.
