The Desert · Bestiary
Hiekka
Endless dune and buried ruin, where water is wealth and a sworn contract is sacred. Caravan masters and oasis-keepers move vital goods through unforgiving wastes, and beneath the sand lie temples, lost cities, and secrets that belong to Zerosh alone.

Hiekka teaches that survival is a contract with heat. Oasis law, caravan discipline, and hidden cisterns matter more than flags, because water is the only crown the desert consistently respects.
Desert creatures conserve, ambush, dazzle, and endure. Some look dead until shade touches them; others are safest when seen from very far away.
