A small but lively city hidden among the dunes. It sits in a sandy basin that mostly protects it from the wind with an occasional sandstorm.
- Sand constantly blowing through - people wear goggles/wraps hanging from belts
- Buildings have wind chimes that warn when storms approach (they sound different pitches)
- Water is precious - public fountains are guarded, elaborate rain-catching systems on roofs
- Canvas awnings everywhere create shaded market corridors
- At night, cold sets in fast - fires in brass bowls, people wrapped in thick cloaks
There is currently a curfew in place.
Get questioned by guards as they come in to town.
Sandstorm hits shortly after they show up. When it subsides there has been another murder.
