The Beginning of a Winding Path
  Tall steppe grasses cover the southern expanse of the endless desert as
the red sands of Araile begin shading into the uneven ochres of dry
scrubland. To the south, tall basalt fingers of rock stretch toward
the sky, so elemental in their naked verticality they seem almost
alive, as if they had been pushed silently out of the earth's crust
barely moments ago. The well-trodden path meandering around the
megaliths provide relative safety from the trackless emptiness around
you, for they are the only visible pedestrian markers within the
sprawling steppe lands. Far to the east, a strangely beautiful creature
is glimpsed running swiftly southward into the steppes, but it is
impossible to ascertain what it is from this distance. A smooth
granite stele has been planted firmly in the desert loam by your feet.

Wandering in the Desert
  Deep red sands swirl around pale yellow boulders. Huge tan dunes
and shallow valleys seem never ending as you walk through the shifting
sands that seem to mark this vast desert. You are almost overwhelmed as
you look around you, it is as if the desert itself was trying to remind
you of how insignificant you really are. The land seems somehow
majestic and peaceful, at the same time it is cruel and violent.

It is a vast hut, set before stone.  In the corners you can see where the
wooden walls give way to carved rock.  To the east and west of you, small
tunnels head off into darkness.  A large ramp veers to the south towards an
altar and an open pit.  Unlike many other places in this village, this place
was carefully constructed, and is well attended to.  Low chants can be heard

the standard for a brutal tribe of warriors behind these decaying gates.
You can see an eerie haze of fog rising from behind the structure, along with
the harsh sounds of village life.  Carved along the face of a timber which
serves as part of this construct are small words written in an odd language.

Upon the ground are skeletal remains of creatures that dwell in this mountain
range.  Some are the lions and goats that roam these hills others the dwarven
skullcaps from the nearby village of Akan.  Posted on rotted spears are tufts
of scalp and heads of slain foes, many of which have rotted to reveal the
skeletal face of vanquished foes.  Large timbers lay upon the ground, used
to continue the construction of this poorly made palisade.  Thrown against
the edge of the stack of timbers is the broken form of an elven ranger,
brutally beaten and torn apart.  It is obvious that the creatures who did
this have little regard for life.
