==Description==
[[The Alkali Pan]] is an [[explorable area]] in [[The Desolation]]. It is notable for the large sulpuhurous lowlands in the East and Northwest that give it its name. As such, most of it can- and indeed must- be traversed in a Junundu, with the exceptions of a region in the Southwest bordered by blackstone and a system of buttes and plateaus in the Northeast linked by bridges.

==Notes==

* [[Vanquisher]] Title: 281-308 foes.  Varies if the following quest is active: [[Under New Management]].
* With a well placed [[Junundu Smash]], the pillar next to the collector [[Fumeai]] can be knocked down for a more direct access to him from the [[Ruins of Morah]]

* The Alkali Pan makes up ~3.1% of the map for purposes of the Elonian [[Cartographer]] Title.
* The large Awakened party with [[Shelkeh the Hungry]] (down at the bottom near the [[Dynastic Tombs]]) is far and away the greatest challenge. Consider leaving from the [[Ruins of Morah]] and doing that early, saving yourself from a frustrating end if you find you can't beat it.
