+The fertilizer bags' logo is a rainbow formed of the brand name, over a cartoon character.
+

+### Evelina's Character
+
+##### 1. What is your secret reason for becoming an adventurer?
+- Was sent into exile after going against wishes of her tribe and saving an individual who then took advantage of the hospitality - causing harm to her tribe and perhaps even resulting in the death of some of her people.
+
+##### 2. Who have you wronged
+- Her own people, according to them. She is estranged from family for her choices to help “selfish” adventurers.
+- Probably countless competing adventurers
+
+##### 3. What would you kill to know
+- How to restore the land and thus restore her people (she was raised in a “corrupted view” tribe)
+- The location of the individual that wronged her and her people and led to her exile. But she isn’t entirely sure what she would do when/if she ever found them.
+
+##### 4. What do you fear
+- Losing those she has grown close to, which perhaps has hindered her getting too close to anyone in the past
+- Losing herself (her physiology being tied to the land - she was raised with a belief that she is corrupted and can succumb further to her people’s “curse” and become more and more savage)
+
+##### What are your short, medium, and long-term goals
+**STG**: Surviving and making a difference in the way she best can. Getting stronger and finding ways to adapt and market her skills. Collecting cool things + tattoos of her exploits.
+
+**MTG**: Finding a place to belong. Filling the void of connection with her tribe.
+
+**LTG**: Restoring the land to the legacy of her ancestors, and in turn hopefully restoring her people.

 The Blooming Wastes stretch out before you: a mostly flat expanse of hard,  cracked earth blanketed by some kind of sandy brown scrub. Small mesas dot the horizon, suggesting the possibility of shelter. As you approach you see that the scrub is covered in thick black thorns sharp enough to pierce boot leather; you will need to tread carefully.

 Southwest of the Blooming Wastes lies an empty stretch of hard-packed stone, from which rises Calamity Ridge -- a sprawling mesa 15 miles long and 200 feet high. Sheltering at the base of the ridge is advised, as the otherwise empty land provides no cover from stalking predators. Legend has it that a tribe of lizardfolk once claimed the mesa but were wiped out by faction miners who descended on the region following rumours of veins of precious metals. Whether the rumours proved false or the veins were exhausted isn't clear, but the region is uninhabited today.

 Dust River Canyon is a half-mile wide gash in the landscape, running forty miles southeast from the edge of the Blooming Wastes. A sheer, crumbling switchback leads to its base where thick clouds of red dust some 2 feet thick swirl, resisting all attempts to settle or disperse. Stalking predators move unseen within the dust, emerging from caves in the canyon walls.

 Gopher Gulch emerges from the southern edge of Dust River Canyon and turns east towards the rocky foothills at the base of the eastern range of Hoard's Vault. Heavy irregular stone cover the shallow riverbed which traverses a barren plain of cracked, broken ground. Shrub and small plants dot the area, but the most prominent flora is the Rolling Catci -- an odd species of globular cactus that rolls and bounces freely, pushed about by the desert winds.

At the heart of the desert lies an impenetrable whirlwind called the Heartstorm  through which no one has passed and which is the subject of wild speculation.

 Until recently traveling the Sahwat proper was an activity limited to the desparate and the outcast, and nearly none of it had been mapped. This is changing, though, with the discovery of buried wonders of the Yanrin Didan. Now every faction, bandit crew, hedge wizard and treasure hunter is descending on the desert and racing to uncover its secrets. When you undertake a journey into the desert, the party will need to contend with *Provisioning*, *Survival*, and *Regional Effects*; these are described below.

+### The Dead Sands
+
+The Dead Sands, our group's second campaign, is a **post-apocalyptic gold rush weird western** set in a realm of Telisar. Our first campaign explored the meaning of story and the interplay of myth, religion, and fate, and led to grand adventures on a huge scale with gods, demons, and the fey. For the Dead Sands I'd like to explore stories more grounded in local events: in civilized areas, the tension between magic and technology, the politics of factions, and the effects of a gold rush transforming societies. In the desert, exploration and survival will be key themes.
+
+We'll dig into these themes using some new mechanics; [A Hopper's Guide to the Dewa Q'Asos](locations/) is the compendium of information unlocked by the party as they [explore the world](mechanics/desert-travel-rules).
