Har'Akir is the centre domain which makes up the Amber Wastes cluster, being merged together with Sebua and Pharazia. Har'Akir's darklord is a mummy by the name of Anhktepot, infamous amongst the natives for the cruel experiments into obtaining immortality he performed whilst he was alive.[1] The natives blame him for their current state, for they believe that his actions angered the gods and led to the destabilisation of Ma'at.

Har'Akir is primarily a sandy desert, scattered with ancient ruins and a few oases.[2][3]

Har'Akir is also the domain featured in the 1995 computer game by SSI, Ravenloft: Stone Prophet.[4]

Har'Akir serves as the headquarters for the Green Hand.[5][6]
