The ancient Alin Kings commissioned a ring of statues to commemorate Sawu's banishment to Mezekesh. Time and shifting desert sands swallowed both the monuments and the bitter lessons of Mezekesh. Recently, the monuments mysteriously arose from the sands. The viziers took it as a fortuitous sign. It was only when spires of Dark Glass appeared below the statues, pushing the monuments skyward, that the viziers understood the truth. The darkness they thought was centuries gone had in fact been spreading beneath the sands, waiting for its time to blossom once again.
"What slumbers beneath the shifting sands of the great Kalahese Desert?"
