Introduction
What happened is long forgotten. Remains of it, barely understood by the
e
most learned scholars, are rife throughout the lands but most are too busy
surviving or maintaining their strangleholds on water and power, power and
water to ponder these relics.

The greatest living city of the desert is Shurupak, breeding ground of pleasure
and nightmare. All people, all faiths, all goods are valued in meretricious
Shurupak, ruled by the Many-Crowned Monarch and her terrible guard a
thousand-thousand strong. The wealth of the city is untouched, uncontested,
and many covet the throne. The Many-Crowned Monarch—bestudded

the titles of these many pretenders are not entirely false. They compete
endlessly in petty games, inevitably forgotten as the hubris of the current
ruler inevitably causes a fall. Those closest to Shurupak, (AlshgarAlshgar the
Nightmare Emirate, the Beggar Sultanate and the Valley of Wisdom to name
but a few) are the most ancient and stablest whilst the peripheral Emirs and
Maliks barely maintain their grasp for a generation or more.
Beyond this anarchic sprawl are the Wastes
Wastes—lands riddled with all manner
of nomadic groups and beasts dwelling beneath the sands, all bowing in
respect to the Worms roaming freely atwixt the dunes. The Alqai, four armed
metal‑workers, emerge from the Duneholds to sell exquisitely worked
goods or continue the ages-old war with the Dune Riders on their slender
sand‑slicing boats.
