The Ribs

Years ago, some great beast died in the Dulqa, near where the trade route between Quzedrah and Mozra passes today. It might have been an ancient dinosaur or a monster of legend so vast and terrible its name hasn't been spoken in generations. Now all that remains of its corpse is one side of a giant, curving ribcage that rises from the sand like a cresting wave. Over the years, travelers have used the giant ribcage as shelter - a canvas or cloak stretched between two or more ribs makes a quick and solid lean-to that shields against the relentless sun or blowing sand. As more travelers sought out the bony shelter, lean-tos were left behind, new ones were created and overlapped, and now a mosaic of tarpaulins, blankets, shields and sails cover the bones. The permanent shade and shelter attract even more travelers, and experienced caravaners and adventurers sometimes speak of "spending the night at the Ribs" on their travels.
