Deadman's Dunes

This vast desert seems a massive 'sea' of quicksand that fills more of the area than not, and the thin sand making a wave-like effect in the wind. Fortunately, it's shallow enough that most adults can wade through most places. All the same, it's probably a good idea to stay close to the solid places if you can find them just in case; look for cacti and shrubs. Perhaps more than the water-like qualities, however, another mysterious factor contributes to the sea impression: an abandoned ship, allegedly a pirate ship, sitting wrecked out in the sand. Of course, everything of real value has been long-since stolen, but many adventurers still search in hopes some small secret was missed. Rumor has it some modern-day sand-pirates wander the area in much smaller vessels seeking unfortunate travelers to pillage, but these are most likely just children's stories.
