With temperatures rising over 143°C (289.40°F) in most areas, the only relief is during the nights when it is much cooler. All travelers are advised to keep to the local towns on the desert's outskirts and avoid traveling too far from civilization. (+3 Endurance, +2 Defense)

Return to Wilt'no Desert

Praise to Amun, Guardian of Ancient Sands [Self]

Amun


The wind whispered dryly against the massive sweeping dunes of Wilt'no, far from any kind of civilization. As time flows on, various ruins of ancient peoples surface only to be swallowed again by the sandy sea. Deep within these sands sits a grand city, half-buried and completely untouched. On a pedestal before the grand temple sits a massive figure that stares at would-be trespassers with a stony glare. Unbeknownst to anyone, this figure is not native to the Evelonian ancient people, but from a far more distant land, and much older.

As the abrasive wind howled through the pillars and streets, the statue suddenly stirred. With a dry crackling sound, limbs started to move and sand streamed away into the wind. Two eyes blink from concave eye sockets as the head slowly swings from side to side. After a moment, the massive guardian steps from his sleeping place with a low grumbling noise.
You can pretend that when you hear my voice, darling, it's your choice not to fall in.

But it's all an act, 'cause I know exactly what you're wanting. You know it's what I'm wanting

Boy I know what you desire, oh, you're such a bad, bad liar

This could be perfection, or venom dripping in your mouth

Singing like a Siren, love me while your wrists are bound

Something had woken it. An unnatural shift in the sands. It looked over the landscape without recognition. It had slept for a very long time. Last it had been awake, the city had control of its little corner of the desert, not the other way around.

The beast slipped down from the pedestal with a resounding thud. Its limbs cracked and crumbling sand fell away with every laborious movement. As if waiting for the space to clear, a large mound of sand slid down onto the pedestal behind the creature. It glanced behind for a moment at its buried watching place. With barely an acknowledgement of it, the creature moved on.
