Blasted Lands

The sand of the Blasted Lands is white with bones, and whoever crosses it is warned at the edge that the ways out are few. Caravan folk still go a part of the way, for there is an oasis in the desert where a sultan of great girth holds court among silk pavilions; but they do not go on to the city.

The city died long ago and has not noticed. Its people walk the streets as ghosts: one gathers the litter from a road that the sand is burying, and another sits in the tax office and asks gold of all who enter. Over it stand two pyramids, one that shines and one that is dark, and the dark upon it is blood. It is said that Ra is lord of the first and Set of the second, and that neither is glad of visitors.
