 ====== Saurian Wasteland ======
-This vast, barren landscape lies beneath a constant layer of mist. Home to the [[saurian|Saurians]], the land is dry and arid, devoid of much vegetation. A river trickles into a dry lakebed, the only visible source of water in the area. The landscape is dotted with high plateaus reaching up from the earth below.

 The land hasn't always been a wasteland. At one time in history, it was rich and fertile, as is evident from the remaining foliage that can seen sporadically throughout the area.

+>//An ancient [[saurian|Saurian]] story of giant reptiles falling from the sky was my first clue that interplanar travel could be possible. One hears stories like this from time to time. In fact, there was a report last week of lobsters raining over [[jolev|Jolev]]. Some fisherman’s joke, no doubt. But the [[saurian|Saurian]] tale was different.//
+>
+>//The hail of reptiles was summoned with a crystal, and the sky was forever darkened by haze and the ground devoid of water, leaving the land barren forever after. Just a folktale, I first assumed. But the wasteland shows clearsigns of once-thriving agriculture. Dry river and lake beds crisscross the land.
+I rightly suspected that something more than folk wisdom was at work.// - Gulpax's Collected Notes and Diagrams - Saurian Wasteland (GS-ADV5)
