Sandstone stands firm along the water’s edge, its sturdy stone towers positioned to face the open sea. Wooden docks extend cautiously into coastal waters, reinforced against tide and storm. Signal fires burn in elevated braziers at night, and the settlement carries the steady presence of a guardpost that never fully rests.

Off the shores of Deso Sera lies Sandstone, a modest coastal watchpost positioned to guard against incoming ships and maritime threats. Built from weathered stone reinforced with desert-hardened timber, it stands firm against both tide and wind.

Sandstone’s role is straightforward: vigilance. Watchers patrol its towers day and night, scanning the horizon for unfamiliar sails or unusual sea patterns. Communication with inland settlements is maintained through signal systems and messenger routes.

Life in Sandstone is sparse but purposeful. Its residents understand that prosperity inland depends on security at sea. Though small and often overlooked, Sandstone remains a critical shield for the southern desert’s expanding trade.
