But, I asked myself, if there was place in the world for a new area in which it could take place.I had a desert area in mind, with nomad tribes, some cities built around oasis and camels, lots of camels. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />Here is my "formal" description of these desert zone and an introduction to the short adventure. With a diameter of 100 kilometers, Blazing Sands is the biggest most hot and dry desert. Precipitations are as rare as an honest Bacarte’s merchant. The undulating dunes are all you can see in these scorching lands. But there are few places without life in this world, and the Blazing Sands are not an exception to this rule; there are several nomad tribes wandering the desert, and a few towns, settled around natural oasis. All these towns are melting pots of races, and commerce flourish like the desert flower Vrassvia when the annual rain waters the hot sands. But with the mix of cultures, there are a huge variety of problems: One of them is intolerance. Tieflings are the most untolerated kin in the desert towns, since the superstitious natives link them with curses and witchcraft. Sometimes, this is true (and not only for a tiefling) but sometimes it’s just irrational prejudice, and it’s dangerous. Rothang Froxur a noble tiefling is on his way to Abde’Ragma one of the villages in the Blazing sands. His son Morthang sent him an animal messenger two weeks ago, requesting him, since he feared for his life, when after an incidental tavern fight with some locals, started receiving death menaces from an unknown person. Morthang informed that he had bunkered in his house, having provisions for a month and a half. Desperate, Rothang tried to use his influences to rescue his son, but giving such a signal of weakness would be political suicide. Instead of that, the tiefling noble decided to send an emissary to Daunton in search of capable mercenaries to deal with this problem.</blockquote>
