The Stinging Winds is believed to be located within the Aranoch desert, but could very well be somewhere in Kehjistan or the Dry Steppes.
Besides dangerous animals and demonic monsters, the land is populated with tiny desert creatures, snakes and insects, that are less dangerous.
Game Level
The Howling Plateau was one of the first levels of the GamesCom 2009 demo, and was described as far better looking version of the Diablo II Aranoch desert levels. The terrain featured visible winds carrying clouds of sand across the plains with dust storms kicking up. The aforementioned desert creatures are critters, which dies if run over.
The Stinging Winds level is located next to The Canyon Rim Mines. The two were once separated by a wall and a powerful gate, but the gate has been destroyed, opening the two up to each other.
There is not much else known about the area.
