The Shifting Sands Desert, known for its unpredictable sandstorms covers thousands of square miles. It is home to the Desertborne Humans, who live nomadically, following the desert's weather patterns. The desert also contains hidden oases, caves and ruins of old cities. On the frontiers of the desert, poachers sometimes threaten the balance, and some bandits roam the desert. The tribes mantain most of the time peaceful relations but thrive for power.

It was once a place of worship for a forgotten desert deity, now only a source of the valley's unsettling sounds. The deity worshipped here was rumored to be a forgotten god of the desert winds, a fickle entity that could bring both life-giving breezes and devastating sandstorms. It was believed that offerings were made not only of precious goods but also of whispers and secrets, hoping to appease its tempestuous nature. Unsettling Sounds: The "unsettling sounds" are more than just wind. Travelers who venture close speak of faint, discordant hums that seem to emanate from beneath the sand, and sometimes, the distinct, rhythmic thump-thump-thump of something large and unseen shifting deep within the earth. Some say these are the last echoes of the god's power. Legends whisper of a hidden chamber beneath the shrine, accessible only when the desert winds align in a specific, almost magical way. This chamber is said to contain a relic of immense power.
It is not merely eroded, but appears as if it has been partially swallowed by the very sands it sits upon. Only the upper sections of its once grand archways and a few crumbling pillars are visible, hinting at the larger structure buried beneath. Wind-sculpted sand drifts around its base, creating a sense of constant flux. Strange, iridescent desert beetles are often seen scuttling among the ruins.
