The Eternal Desert

The second floor is a vast stretch of sand and bare rock.

Scholars have long disagreed whether this land has always appeared this way or was once fertile ground worn down by the merciless passage of time.

How they arrived at that conclusion may forever remain a mystery, for no one has seen them since.
