Avoid the dry bone skeletons which inhabit the area and climb this ridge. Two large pools separated by a ridge of sand are rings of greenery on the desert plateau. The Twin Tears: The Oasis of Marr is not the only source of fresh water in the Sinking Sands, as this area is now called. Could Lockjaw still be alive after all these years? While no direct evidence of his presence was seen, it is said that crocodiles are extremely long-lived. Several boulders near the entry appear clawed and scratched, as though something large had moved them at some point while passing through. At the base of one set of spires, several crocodiles lay still in the water, their eyes following every movement. The Croc Caves: Several chimney spires in the sea attract one's attention with their distinctive columnar shapes. Something waits beyond in a palpably brooding silence. Within one of these deep caves, one will find a door to the past-a past so dark that I cannot imagine what lies behind it. The Eye of Anuk: The shifted lands have created underground caverns so deep that the light of day barely touches them. Insect life abounds in the arid climate, with many of the world's deadliest spiders and scorpions found only in the Desert of Ro. While admiring the vista is useful for identifying one's surroundings, one must also be wary of what may lie directly beneath one's feet. Close up, as we have learned, there are places of deadly beauty as well as relative calm. The Chimney: At a distance, one can only see the dunes of a desert, stretching forever toward the horizon. As soon as they became visible, however, a second storm quickly reburied many of them, though there are one or two that remained above the shifting sands and are still visible to this day.
After a particularly heavy windstorm, several spires appeared at various locations throughout the Desert of Ro.
Sunken Spire: Though desert winds can reshape the lands with impressive speed, not all traces of ancient times are easily destroyed. The presence of various camps can be beneficial, as some of their residents are traders, willing to exchange goods for coin. One would be wise to refrain from assuming that an empty camp is an abandoned one.
Some of these are occupied at all seasons, while others seem to be intended for travellers. Aside from the various crocodiles, caimans and sand giants, there are also a variety of small camp sites. The Brigand's Boneyard: The former Deserts of Ro are not empty. Parts of the Highway lead between overhanging cliffs that are sure to provide cover and concealment to the orcs that still call this region home. It remains a dangerous area for non-orcs to traverse and is best avoided by those travelling alone. Orc Highway: Several portions of this major north-south route still exist. The shifting lands have brought old dangers closer by removing the natural barrier of the desert sands. And though the Oasis is a respite from the heat of the desert, it is by no means a safe haven. The Oasis of Marr: Previously situated between the Northern and Southern Deserts of Ro, the Oasis is a burst of vibrant color now located near the docks at which the Guppy II made landfall. Bursts of color, such as the Oasis of Marr, can seem almost blinding after the simple desert palatte (sic). The gentle coloration of the natural flora and fauna is soothing, with pale grey-green sages flowing into the soft golden sands.
