On the Desolate Sands
Part 1
We, the Zakarum, have endeavoured to make Caldeum a city of mercy and salvation, but we have not yet been able to convince the emperors to change the ancient policy of exile. Prisoners convicted of treason are still sent to the Desolate Sands to die with nothing but the clothes on their backs. -- Lysra the Zakarum Archivist
