A scene
The caravan vanished between two wells somewhere in the desert southwest of Acheron, forty camels and all their drivers, and the family wants answers. Amenemhat, a mage of the Institute of Astrology, walks out onto the dunes at the edge of the old route and fixes his gaze on a single great ridge of sand. He asks one question: what became of the caravan that passed through here? The dune answers. A storm buried them where they sheltered. They lie twenty feet beneath his sandals.
