Boneyard

The Boneyard was at one point a vast lake, before it dried up during the Flood. The skeletons of fish and whales can still be found at its dusty base, but theirs aren’t the only ones you’ll find here. The bones of large creatures-- elephants, rhinoceri, hippopotami, and huge reptiles have all perished in this deadly region. At first, one might presume that these huge creatures died of heatstroke or lack of water, but in truth, their fate is the fault of the Boneyard’s treacherous terrain. Sand traps, sinkholes, and loose ground abound here, dragging imprudent animals and wasters to an untimely fate. As treacherous as the Boneyard is, it serves as the fastest shortcut from the Silk Cradle to Kyarnal Valley.   Some folk speak of a powerful mystic who lives in this region, someone who is able to look deep into the past, but also see glimmers of the future. His services could be very helpful, but he does not work for free.
