Tales From a Thousand Worlds

Synopsis:

Across the harsh deserts and endless steppes of the east flows the wealth of nations, yet the route is dangerous.  Not alone is it raiders that plague the way, but beasts as well.  Though water is scarce, there is one oasis that not even the most desperate will approach, the Oasis of Broken Bones.
