Riddle Me This

I can't come up with a good riddle today T_T. Let me post you a previous riddle since many people don't know the answer anyway - please don't post like an ---hole the answer. But if you do then I shall have D.J. own you with his ninja skills: (<> = Revision)

Rough as the desert,
as hot as the sun,
The servant of the "up-right",
the creators,
Passed upon four times,
yet thousands more than that,
Everywhere,
yet no where,
A graveyard of the dead,
birth places of the exiled.
