The city of Evenord came into sight only a few hours after leaving the mountain valley we had been in. The terrain had flattened out somewhat, though it was still rocky and without grass or trees. There were odd green plants which Zirani said were cactuses and the dry bushes which looked dead. The sun shone high above and the temperature was far hotter than I had ever experienced even hotter than it had been on the last floor of the aether tower, then again that floor had cold sand. This place was less of a desert and more of a rocky wasteland, at least that's what it seemed like until we got to one of the roads to the city, and slowly began to come across people.
