Do Not Wake is a broad desert shard crossed by old pilgrimage roads, salvage tracks, and temporary sunset landscapes. Beneath its dunes lies a buried faster-than-light engine whose damaged systems turn mirages into reality for one hour each evening. Caravans, shrine communities, prospectors, and planar agents gather around the phenomenon, making the region a dangerous crossroads where every expedition might uncover wealth, prophecy, or a doorway that should remain closed.

Field Observations

Travelers must shelter before sunset, when temporary terrain and creatures become real.,Marked wells are safer than visible water, which is often a mirage lure.,Resonant compasses fail near the engine and may point toward remembered destinations.

Cultures

The Shardwalkers preserve route songs, bloodline oaths, and strict sunset customs.

The Engine Pilgrims combine desert hospitality with reverence for resonant machines.

The Salt-Cutters maintain practical clan traditions shaped by quarrying, trade, and water law.
