The Storm Sands
A desert in southern Deneshae (subcontinent), nestled between two short mountain ranges. Known as the Glittering Desert to non-Deneshaeans. It is a strange, seemingly artificial desert, with a perpetually whirling storm in the center. Within the storm is the home of Sqeatu [Wrosten], a titan known better there as one of the worshiped Walking Gods of the Deneshaen pantheon.
Much of it was turned into Glass Plain when Sqeatu’s anger became so large that her fire melted the sands around her.
Notable NPCs
- Sqeatu. A destroyer titan. Wrosten is her titan name; the natives of Deneshae call her Sqeatu. Sqeatu is roughly 20 feet tall and thin, with long spindly legs and arms. Her skin is bronze and when she moves the metal cracks, revealing fissures of molten metal beneath. Her hair is a wreath of fire and her eyes are twin diamonds that glow from the light of the heat inside her. Sqeatu has a fiery temper that is difficult to quell. The brass dragon and Sqeatu's former champion, Tymaltia, was able to do it early on, but eventually tired of Sqeatu’s near-constant temper tantrums. It is believed that these tantrums stem from her tumultuous relationship with her former love, Uredon.
- Paleoki. A blue dracolich and the source of the storm in the Storm Sands. Paleoki has taken up roost in the area and protects Sqeatu from outsiders. After Tymaltia left, Paleoki became Sqeatu’s champion. Rogue Wave defeated him though the Hand was killed in the process, only to be revived by Qualyn, who became his patron.
- Thamal. Bronze dragonborn man. Barbarian, traveled with Rogue Wave and helped them defeat Paleoki.
- Veruz. Amethyst dragonborn woman. Blind seer. Travels with Thamal’s tribe.
- Xalrea. Diamond dragonborn woman. Seer, lives in the Tomb of the Ancients. Has the ability to unlock power in people, as well as teleport people without traveling with them.
