A tortured large world with little vegitation and colossal deserts.
The sea level is low and temperatures are high due to a catastrophic greenhouse effect caused by runaway evaporation of water (more heat, more water evaporated, more heat trapped etc)
The world, even if it wasn't dying currently, would have died within 0.5 to 1 billion years due to the cooling of it's interior and subsequent shut-down of its magnetosphere causing Ozone levels to plummet and UV radiation to kill all life.
The planet is tidally locked, meaning one side is always Saldis. This causes massive storms to form on the "day" side from evaporation of water. Due to the cold of the "night" side the clouds condense into rain and snow at the day-night boundary. Not much heat is transfered to the "night" side.
