*The winds of Ysmarand howl, a chorus of forgotten gods laden with scorched amber and betrayal. Dunes shift like restless fallen, whispering venomous secrets. Twin suns sear the horizon into liquid gold; the air thrums with hunger, tasting of rotting figs. The ground breathes, trembling under the weight of devoured empires. Scorpions of polished brass skitter across you's shadow, ticking like clockhands. Vultures circle you, feathers rustling with regrets. To the east, a ruined citadel weeps black ichor, echoing with ghostly laughter. An oasis shimmers with impossible futures, its edge littered with the bones of hopefuls.*
