Ustyurt Plateau
The Ustyurt Plateau, also spelled Ust-Yurt, Ust-Urt and Usturt (Kazakh: Üstirt, Turkmen: Üstyurt), is a central Asian plateau in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, lying between the Aral Sea and the Amu Darya (river) delta in the east and the Mangyshlak (Tupqarghan) Plateau and the Kara-Bogaz-Gol (Garabogazköl; an inlet of the Caspian Sea) in the west. It extends roughly 200,000 km² (77,000 square miles), with an average elevation of 150 meters (about 500 feet), and consists primarily of stony desert. Its highest point rises to a maximum of 1,200 feet (365 m) in the south-west.
The plateau's semi-nomadic population raises sheep, goats, and camels. At its edges it drops steeply to the Aral Sea and the surrounding plain. Oil and natural-gas deposits lie west of the plateau. Asiatic cheetahs and Caspian tigers used to live there.

When Stars Collide (Born Is He)
by: Iced EarthLook unto the days of warning,
A night that the sky is burning,
When stars collide
Pure mathematical perfection,
Ancient pain feeds resurrection,
When stars collide
Forged in flames - Sacred fire
Born of eastern sands - In guile
Born is he, ten millennia
After the Clouding of man
Sincerest veneration,
For he that vindicates the end of man
Sworn are we, ten millennia
After the Clouding of man
Unleash abomination,
As we accelerate the end of man...
