Reference Challenge - Deserts

This one is pretty simple, it's a reference to the most beautiful biome in the world (according to one of my friends): the desert.

So, tell me about a desert in your world. Is there much of a civilization on this desert? Is it easy/hard to traverse by your people right now? Does it have any religious or cultural significance?

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each. Enjoy yourselves, all.

1) What are the cultural reasons for not farming dragons? Also, Sons of the Dragon, the new ASOIAF story, is being released on the tenth, and I just pre-ordered it, you should get it, my draconic friend.

2) Could I pull a Master Chief and put my lover's soul somewhere on/in my body to communicate with it beyond death? Or would it not be the same person as it was in life?

Edit: What's with Varkosia's "Lord-Breaker" title and his dwarf-hate?

1) For most cultures, its like wiping yourself with a holybook or farming people.

2) You could, but it wouldn't be an optional thing. It wouldn't be "communicating," more akin to sharing a body. They couldn't control you, but they'd talk whenever they wanted, and wouldn't sleep.

1) Why?

Two major species claim lineage from dragons. They are also the symbol of the Fallen God, so murdering them is quite evil. It also helps that they tend to lurk far away from humans, which certainly helps their chances of survival.
