Potsherd Crater

Scrub. Pallid soils of crushed ceramics. Drifts of porcelain exoskeletons crunch and ring underfoot. The autumn and spring rain showers bring sudden blooms of flowers and tubers, covering the pale landscape in a rainbow of colour.
The rim rises pale, like fossilized porcelain ribs, from the dusty soil. Remnants of quarries from before the days of the Porcelain Princes lie abandoned to vomish lurchers while the sanguine porcelain prospectors whisper of bat-lion caves in the far rims.

Travel Options:

Rest, Crater Hovel: easy to hide in and quite safe, if you ignore the omnipresent centipedes.

North, Porcelain Citadel (safe oasis, 1 week): the citadel rises, a gleaming testament to a civilization older and more decayed than memory.

West, The Last Serai (steppe, 2 weeks): the Porcelain Princes’ hold, home to the most remote permanent Rainbowlander trading post. They read minds there, it is said.

North-East, The High Road and the Low (steppe, 2 weeks): crumbling pylons of dying dryland coral tower above the

half-passable modern road.

Weather

Radiant haze clouds obscure the sun before 09:00. Light showers, the smell of garlic and roses. Gleaming skies like razors in flight.
