Hope They Didn't Get A Sunburn!

As the Rangers continued on their journey, they encountered a completely different geographical landscape. Welcome to the most weathered part of Phaedos! 

The Rangers passing an interesting rock formation...

From the picture above, it looks like the first formation they passed was caused by Salt Weathering. The location the Rangers are at clearly doesn't have much water available. Because of this climate, salt would be very common. Saline would seep into the cracks and joints of the rock and evaporate, leaving only salt crystals. When these crystals heat up, they would expand and put pressure on the rock, causing it to look like it does.

The Rangers encountering more rough terrain.

The Rangers encountered next what I believe to be calcification. If you look close enough, there is some life coming out of the soil. The area they are in is low in precipitation, making the air full of calcium carbonate. When it rains, the dust settles across the landscape and accumulates in the soil. The rain provides just enough water to allow this to accumulate in the B horizon. The subsoil is too dry to support good growth, so shallow-rooted grass and shrubs are what form.
 

Finally, after a long hot journey, they make it to their next destination, the ancient ruins of the Ninjetti Temple.
