A Merchant's Travels

This collection of pages chronicles the journey of a traveling merchant as he made his way across Aranna to hawk his wards. Two passages stand out:
Finally decided to swallow my pride and make for Kalrathis. Feels like I haven't seen your sister in years - I gues it HAS been years. I'm sure Angus and Kevarre still owe me a few drinks. And I want to see if that old gasbag Kendril ever got what was coming to him. Couldn't ask for a nice guy for the Assassins Guild to chase all over Aranna, that's for sure.
(...a few pages later...)
They're all gone. The whole damned city is gone. All that's left is ten acres of mud and a hole twice the size of the city. What the hell happened here?
It looks like the whole bloody city sank into the ground. Where did all this water come from? I thought this place was a desert -- no, wait, I KNOW it's a desert. I still have sand in my boots from the last time I stayed here.
I don't know if any of them were able to escape, or where they went if they did. Something this big -- shouldn't Boden and Nora be able to stop it? I know Nora said something about a Nexus and lay lines, but... maybe I should have paid more attention to what she was saying instead of how she looked while she was saying it. But you know me.
Well, there's not much for me to do here but sit and stare, so i'm headed back your way. I guess this is what happens when you leave a damned child in charge. he should have been running through the streets playing with the other urchins, not sitting on a throne that was already too big for his father.
