(When I found a native of the plane of Dust-a rather bitter sandman whose name I never discovered-he gave the following speech, which I recorded as closely as I could.-the Editor)
Silence! Listen now, and I shall tell you of the hell that is my home.
The quasi plane of Dust is an expanse of darkness a~ash with minute particles. • These are earned through the most tenu ous of atmospheres on winds so frail that you cannot even feel their caress. The negative energy coursing through the plane causes all matter to decay, eventually destroying everything.
Toward the Elemental Plane of Earth, a traveler finds the dust growing thicker and thicker. In time, drifting clouds of matter begin to coalesce and form solid bodies. Here, in a place known as the Tumbling Rocks, masses of stone crash into each other with tremendous force.
In the direction of the quasiplane of Ash, the scattered currents of dust begin to form thicker and thicker clouds. Eventually, in a region known as the Wasting Place, dust and ash merge in a choking cloud. Those who travel here risk being tom apart by the natural abrasion of dust or drained of all heat by the warmth-hungry ash.
Circling toward the quasiplane of Salt, the character of the dust becomes more and more crystalline. Where these two universes meet lies the Consumption, a dangerous realm in which all fluids transform into scintillating granules. Obviously, such an alteration proves fatal to almost any living thing. Death comes in many forms in the plane of Dust.
Without a doubt, the most dangerous of this plane's border zones is the Storm of Annihilation. Here, where the quasiplane of Dust merges with the plane of Negative Energy, winds of deadly elemental force whip up storms of highly destructive particles. Here, the negative energy not only breaks matter up, but literally causes it to violently explode. Those foolish enough to come here deserve to die.
