Overlooking the Flesh Pits from its vantage point of relative safety, the Vulture Watchtower offers overnight lodging for travelers navigating the arid, rocky desert. Curious travelers might even poke around in the Vulture Watchtower’s restricted areas and find out what the researchers are really here for…
A week's travel to the east, the tiny town of Lonerock is easy to overlook, but Sheriff-Mayor Cyrus Drake knows how to have an outsized impact.

The capital of Nalathesh is Aridala. The sparkling desert jewel of a city draws merchants, nobles, and theatre troupes from the world over!
