The cities of the Bak'Touk Peoples have stood for centuries in the unyielding deserts of the Scorchedlands, sustained by the life giving waters flowing deep withing the earth. Though their ancient foundations have crumbled, and the waters of the earth do not visit the surface as often as they once did, the cities still grow and prosper as centers of trade in every good imaginable. this prosperity is not always evident, however, and some districts of these sprawling cities are less fortunate than others. Amid the ruins of great rock cut monuments to forgotten kings, newer structures of less noble construction have arisen. the once proud kings are not the only forgotten denizens of these sparsely populated markets, and goods here seem to disappear without explanation more often than they are sold. it is curious that a Chalklander might venture here, so far from the sweet grains of the Cashilima, and far beyond any hope of easy return. as the vultures of the streets descend upon them, it is clear that their arrival in the city of Ceaseless Springs will be welcomed by all, in one way or another...
