Taking leave of Koso-Mehr, the party headed east into the Wastelands of Falak, the raging desert lands separating the tamer kingdom of Majirah from the rich Empire of Taishan.
Rumors of the temple-city of Sir-ahz, an oasis in the desert, claimed one could find respite from the hot sun by following illusory footsteps, if the temple-city's protectors deemed travelers worthy. While asleep one night in their journey, Anden was woken by a yearning call from the north of the desert, a pull towards Zenith/Nadir.
On the road, the group encountered Yuru, a bard outcast from Sir-ahz that served a patron dragon named Aozumi. He claimed Aozumi would one day rise to combat Ziz/Zuu, the great bird that watches over the Tower of Zenith/Nadir, and rule the Wastelands.
Believing Aozumi (rightgully) to be self-serving and perhaps evil, the party read Yuru's intentions as wrong, however, and combat ensued. Yuru was slain, and Anden explained his pull toward the great towers that bridged the Middle World with the heavens and hells.
After discussion, the party decided to venture north to the Tower of Zenith/Nadir to investigate Anden's magical draw.
