An unfortunate caravaneer lost several of their oxen as the sand collapsed inward into the chasm below, bubbling almost as if the mass of sand were water being put t

The trek through the desert was long and arduous. It seemed at every turn a new challenge arose. Sandstorms, blistering heat, even the sand itself felt like fire under our feet, wrapped in leather and cloth to insulate our skin. When our beasts of burden fell prey to the scorpions and spiders of the

Where once stood monuments, now only remnants of their past glory are found in the canyons, hidden by the tall spires and arches making up the desert pass. If one was so inclined to take the pilgrimage to the oasis, they would find what remains of the tribute to her greatness. While a dangerous and

The rains further up stream near the Ahpocret Oasis, originating from the reckless transmutations of those who dwell there in their attempt to preserve their oasis as the wellspring fai

Hey all, Dovetailing nicely with last months Forest Campsite this month we have a desert campsite. Well, more of a small travelling town.

“Through the persistent heat haze above the arid desert you see a large obelisk reaching for the sky. As you approach closer you find it to be a gigantic marble arm.

“You wearily take another step across the soft sand. The beating sun and dry hot heat of the desert has been sapping your parties strength for days now. Between that and the sandstorm a few nights back what should have been a 5 day trek has turned in to 8 and with it the rations you have are startin
