This place had never seen snow before, Inowe was certain of that. They'd read about deserts, and they'd always imagined them looking like where the Nightmares roamed. It was different though; a lot more sand, a lot less danger, and a bit more life even if it wasn't immediately visible. It was probably hot too, not that Inowe noticed... though their travel companions certainly did. Their travel companions consisted of ten soldiers - all minor Chosen of Conquest - and Camedyr, the diplomat. The soldiers were pleasant enough, all armed with halberds. They joked and spoke of home with each other, and even if they hardly interacted with the mage they weren't unkind. Camedyr however, was cold. He hardly spoke except to give orders, and he wouldn't even look at you unless he required something. During the day, when it was too hot to continue traveling, everybody would stay close to the child of ice. During the night, everybody would be back on the move again, and the others would avoid them as the air got cooler. Inowe wasn't sure how to feel about this arrangement. They were glad to be useful of course, and they were uniquely suited to aid their allies in this environment, but they knew that the closeness wasn't…..warmth? They didn't know how to describe something they've never experienced. Inowe decided that they wanted to return home. As lonely as the libraries were, at least they were familiar.

Desert Sense: Camping, Hiking

Desert Sense: Camping, Hiking ·Techniques for traversing desert terrain-by vehicle, by mountain bike, or on foot ·Strategies for comfort, safety, and survival in extreme conditions ·Selecting gear and equipment for this special environment Like any desert aficionado, Bruce Grubbs is obsessed with water: how much to bring, how to carry it, how to conserve it, and how to find it in the backcountry. But desert exploration involves much more. Grubbs provides the knowledge and skills you need to move through this landscape with confidence. In addition to techniques for hiking and mountain biking special to desert conditions, Grubbs tells how to prepare your vehicle for remote desert roads and how to avoid getting stuck in sand or busting a tire. He discusses navigating in the desert, "dry camping" skills, and techniques for minimum impact on this starkly beautiful but fragile environment. There are tips for dealing with desert heat-and cold-and other challenges (sharp spiny plants and venomous snakes are easy to avoid with a little preparation and know-how). But just in case, Grubbs troubleshoots the worst-case scenarios. Throughout, he gives an understanding of desert climate and seasons, and the unique plants and creatures at home in it.
