Answer 2

Answer: mountains and dry conditions.

In this excerpt, we are told that, in order for the traveller to reach the province of Tun and Kain, he has to spend eight days in the desert. Deserts are particularly treacherous to cross, as there are little natural resources that can help you survive if you get lost or run out of supplies. According to the text, the reason why the journey is difficult is because of the dry conditions of the desert.
