According to lore, there was a civilization before those that are currently around that used a material that people now call "Black Stones" as a power-source. There's a bunch of them in ruins in a stretch of desert claimed by another country, so one country that wants to lay claim to the region started calling it the Black Desert. They went to war with the country that controls it, sandwiching and practically annexing several other countries in-between in order to get to it. If I remember right, the war was eventually fought to a stand-still, and both sides retracted before trying to acquire more stones through other means.
Apparently, the other country in the war calls it the Red Desert, after how many of them died defending it.
