An Desert Dune
Dunes have taken the lives of a great many unweary travelers. It is said
that temperatures can escalate up to one hundred and twenty degrees. During
the day, the sun beats down from the sky onto all living things in the desert,
anything caught in the sun's rays will bake if it's not sheltered. The only
thing worse than the desert heat, is the desert cold. When the night skies
blanket the desert, the temperatures drop a good seventy degrees. Sand storms
have been known to blow through this desert, causing many tents and constructs
to be ruined and lost. Scarabs and other vicious predators prey on anything
that steps foot into this realm. It is said that many a nomad have succumbed
to a scorpion or snake bite after reaching help within the city. There aren't
a great many reasons to enter this desert dune, except to get to the otherside.
It is rumored, however, that a great tower of sorcery is hidden deep within the
desert's center, protected by magic and powerful guardians.

A Winding Dune Trail
Tents on either side of this street are spread apart to allow for traffic
to smoothly transverse from one section of the town to the other. The tents
house some of the slave traders and slaves alike that will participate in the
slave trades within the city. Guards are kept nearby each tent to insure
proper behavior of each of the slaves within the tents. Tall poles with
torches on top provide light for the night in order for the trading to continue
for the later part of the evening. It is rumored that millions of slaves have
been bought or sold within these slave markets, which would make it the largest
of all time. If it weren't for the small trail of cobblestones laid many years
ago, this trail would not be traversable by anyone, let alone merchants with
caravans full of slaves.

Before a Glowing Runestone
It is said that all things that come to pass and all things that ever will
does not matter, because it's all the same in the end. This can be attributed
to everything except magic. Magic is eternal, never ending. It was born with
the creation of the universe and will only end when everything is consumed and
it collapses within itself. One million years could pass, everything would be
changed, however, the glowing runestone that iminates in the center of this
desert dune will still be here, its magic as potent as ever. Nothing of the
physical world can altar its appearance, because it's a prodigy of magic.
It possess great power, one glance at it can enthraw almost anyone willing to
give in to its will. Armies could fall from the power endowed into it. Rivers
can run dry. Oceans can rise and fall and the sun and stars can all fade from
the sky from the power of this stone. Just to unlock its secrets is to uncover
something secretly hidden away.

that steps foot into this realm. It is said that many a nomad have succumbed
to a scorpion or snake bite after reaching help within the city. There aren't
a great many reasons to enter this desert dune, except to get to the otherside.
It is rumored, however, that a great tower of sorcery is hidden deep within the
desert's center, protected by magic and powerful guardians.

A Winding Dune Trail
Tents on either side of this street are spread apart to allow for traffic
to smoothly transverse from one section of the town to the other. The tents
house some of the slave traders and slaves alike that will participate in the
slave trades within the city. Guards are kept nearby each tent to insure
proper behavior of each of the slaves within the tents. Tall poles with
torches on top provide light for the night in order for the trading to continue
for the later part of the evening. It is rumored that millions of slaves have
been bought or sold within these slave markets, which would make it the largest
of all time. If it weren't for the small trail of cobblestones laid many years
ago, this trail would not be traversable by anyone, let alone merchants with
caravans full of slaves.

A Narrow Cobblestone Road
Cobblestones make up this road. The Sultan made this road out of this
easily obtainable stone because it's easy to maintain and it's very cheap.
Caravans and travelers can walk a little more easily than if the Sultan had
not thrown this cobblestone onto the desert. These stone allow for simple and
easy traveling. There are tents on either side of the narrow road. Nomads have
set up their tents in one of the most vacant parts of the city, and appreciate
their solitude more than most, they simply do not want to be disturbed. The
night air is especially cold in this region of the city, for it is the lowest
part. The cold night air settles all too readily here, the situation of the
cliffs sees to that. There are no posts, there are no lanterns, so the night
must be real dark, with only the moonlight to keep one company.

Before a Pile of Refuse
There are some who would say that the desert really sucks. Most people who
live within this desert city agrees. Sand gets everyplace. It gets in your
ears, mouth, hair lungs, pants, shoes, and anyplace else imaginable. Like a
big bluebird everyone wishes they can fly away from this place. The sand is
course, the sun is terrible and relentless, the people stink, the sultan has
a terrible temper and executes a lot of people, and only god knows what else.
The cannion walls surround this encampment of desert peasants. It provides
protection from the desert storms that often sweep the city. Most of those
who cannot afford shelter or someplace of their own live here. Sounds of
the desert city life can be heard barely. Occasionally the wind will howl,
creating an errie sound, as if something was pleading to be released from pain.

of many different lands. This particular section of the city, if there could be

a few months, some much briefer. Sounds of city life fill the air during the

here, for it is well known that nearly no other city would allow such an

A Lightly Pebbled Gravel Road
This lightly pebbled road cuts along the northern cliff of the desert city,
winding its way along the cold stone like a vicious desert snake. Sand blows
in small patches along the walkway, but most is kept from the city by the
walls and special barricades that line its perimeter. Squat huts and clay
houses of a varying size have been built along the road, taking up every
available space and leaving little room for alleys and yards. The occasional
hardy shrub grows up from the dry ground, but for the most part this region
is barren of plant and animal life. Only the tiniest pebble stirs here, as the
wind gently blows it along the winding desert city tracks. During the daytime,
this is the most blistering part of the city, and during the night it could be
mistaken for a barren wasteland, truly the most vacant section of the city.

Eriic the wanderer has been many places in his long life. Everywhere from
Tharnadia to Tiamat to the Underdark. He is widely known throughout the city
for his charts and maps and adventure stories. His long flowing blond hair
does not reflect his old age, however, he is very old. The candle light is
barely enough to see the fine lines on his face, the wrinkles of old age. Many
of the common city dwellers come to see Eriic for advice to share his company.
Eriic enjoys company. Eriic enjoys telling stories even more. Most children
come to see Eriic if their parents allow them. Most children come to see Eriic
even if their parents don't allow them. He is known as the wanderer. The will

Tent of the Shaman
Shamans are a respected and feared class. They are in touch with the spirits
and possess incredibly potent magic. They are a unique class of individuals
who combine these magics with the power of the wildlife, making them very
dangerous if they chose to be. Shamans in this city are the healers of the
ordinary people, since most clerics won't even come to these desolate sections
of the city. Popular ones could collect a vast fortune if they chose by
taxing those who seek their services. Most individuals who come to see Ruffus
are seeking not healing, but reassurances that they have not contracted some
sort of disease. Unlike most shamans, Ruffus is a people person, dependent on
others for his sanity. Many shamans keep to themselves, Ruffus does not.

For most of the people who live here, life is wretched. If there's one thing
about sand, is that it gets everywhere. Beneath the ears, under the hair, in
the mouth, in the finger nails, and just about everyplace else as well. This
is the poorer section of the city where those without the means live. They all
seemed to have to become one great giant conglomerate where whom the richer and
even not so richer have forgotten about. Cut throats don't even bother to come
here, thieves either, however, there be rumors of gypsies in these parts. The
wind blows softly, picking up the sand and blowing it through the air, hitting
tents and people alike. The sun beats down during the day here, making it

Rats can be heard over the occasional hacking of the butcher. Parnn is the
butcher most seek to butcher their meat. Hunters come here mostly, sometimes
little kids who've caught a squirrel or rabbit as well. Parnn is a nice guy
when it comes to butchering, he likes to hack meat. He'll do it for free as
well, if you've got a purdy mouth. His fees range widely depending on the meat
that needs to be hacked and chopped. The front of the tent is the only place
customers are allowed. It is rumored that the back is messy with animal limbs
and such and gruesome to set eyes upon. The stench is horrible, however, it
is quickly cycled out. The desert city needs butcher, Parnn does his job well.

The desert night sky provides a haven for creatures that are sensitive to
the sun. Drow, in particular, have a terrible sensitivity to the sun. Drow
have immense power, however, if they were caught out in the sun their power
would diminish heavily. The desert night is extremely cold. The desert daylight
is extremely hot. It's hardly conceivable how anyone could live within a
desert. Deserts are notorious for their lack of water, and a lot of effort
must be placed in transition of it. A desert cliff above is the source of
falling rocks. Wind blows above, sending sand flying only to land in eyes and
ears. The rocks on eitherside of the ravine are impossible to climb, and a
narrow crevice is visible within a part of the cliff wall, perhaps it could
hide something. There's no telling where the crevice leads too, however, it
most likely leads to more desert. Theres something more here then can be seen.

in the great scheme of the city. The wind blows hard through this narrow
passage, sending sand into ones eyes, ears, hair, and mouth. This is the only

surrounds the small dune encampment on all sides. During the nights these
peasants freeze their butts off, and during the day they cook under the sun.

Before a Large Encampment
The desert comes alive with the sound of music and celebration. A large
encampment of desert nomads is to the north. This encampment houses some of
the most hardened nomads and villains ever to set foot on this continent. It
takes a different breed of person to live within a desert, and it takes a
great deal of strength. There are many in this encampment who would no
doubtably take a life for no particular reason other than just something to
do. The desert heat creates a lot of ill sentiment to outsiders and the
ordinary visitor is not welcome. There are no fences to this encampment of
nomads, however, a few dogs will alert anyone to outsiders. Smoke rises above
the camp as they celebrate something. The sultan has deemed this camp refuge
for the vile, and it is rumored he's place a price on everyone's head.
