<h2>RUST SALT CANYON</h2>
|
||
<p class="section-title">
|
||
An area of canyons filled with sharp rocks and salt crystals. Among sand and
|
||
stone emerge grooves and metal remains of what seems to be a centuries-old
|
||
railway, an attempt to connect settlements destroyed by the passing of time.
|
||
</p>
|
||
|
||
<ul>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>Ancient railway.</strong> The ruins of this monumental endeavor
|
||
have been almost completely dismantled and repurposed by the locals. In
|
||
particular, its opaque metal is ideal to forge very robust tools and
|
||
pieces of equipment.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>The desert people.</strong> Accustomed to the desert, the
|
||
inhabitants have learned to appreciate what it has to offer and recognize
|
||
beauty where others see only danger. They have a symbiotic relationship
|
||
with the Rocksoarers, creatures unfit for hunting who instead feed upon
|
||
the parasites found on desert whales, and also cultivate a variety of
|
||
plants and shrubs unique to this region.
|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>A slice of paradise.</strong> If the locals consider them worthy
|
||
of trust, the PCs are invited to witness a rare spectacle. In a specific
|
||
location, under a sky of stars, they can hear the song of the desert
|
||
whale, a majestic creature that lives under the sand, emerging only during
|
||
the cold nights to draw breath.
|
||
<em
|
||
>(Potential mystery: What is the relationship between the whales and the
|
||
desert people? Why do they live only in a certain area?)</em
|
||

|
||
</li>
|
||
<li>
|
||
<strong>The sea of sand.</strong> This endless waste is dangerous and
|
||
impossible to cross on foot, but that doesn’t dissuade the desert people
|
||
who, using swift, floating boats, constantly probe the sands looking for
|
||
ancient relics.
|
||
<em
|
||
>(Potential mystery: What are they really looking for? How do these
|
||
vehicles work?)</em

<h2>BURIED LABYRINTH</h2>
|
||
<p class="section-title">
|
||
An obscure enigma is buried under the sand, in the heart of a maze of
|
||
tunnels and underground roads. Narrow passages, theater to forgotten
|
||
experiments, spread through the ground. Among flasks and alembics, enigmatic
|
||
notes preserved in dusty diaries suggest the researchers were working on a
|
||
device that could reverse the fortunes of the desert’s inhabitants.
