A Crumbling Canyon
A ledge of red rock extends from the eastern wall. The ground is laden with
fragments of rock that have broken loose from the canyon walls. An
occasional rock tumbles down from the ledge adding to the debris on the
ground.

A Crumbling Canyon
The canyon wall curves around your head here, making a kind of shelter from the
sun. Insects scurry and hide behind rocks and inside little holes as you pass
by, waiting for a peaceful time away from the heat. the rock above your head is
that crimson color that is common in this area.

A Crumbling Canyon
Two of the dark red walls meet here, forming an almost perfect
perpendicular figure. Little burrows in the walls make home to several
small insects, and a couple little ones catch your eye as they scurry
about. Bits of rock that have broken loose from the weathered canyon walls
blanket the ground.

A Crumbling Canyon
The path ends here, opening up the vast gorge at the bottom of the canyon
walls. The rock at your feet is dark grey, very different than the rest of this
area. Looking up, the canyon walls look like one big tower, piercing the sky.

Steep Path
Dropping quickly here, the path leads to where the canyon wall meets the lowest
part of the ground. The ground is now very solid rock, and the dust makes it
slightly slick. As you draw closer the canyon bottom, you feel overwhelmed by
the high walls around you. It is almost as if you are standing at the base of
the White Tower for the first time.

Twist in the Path
The path is widens slightly here, leaving enough room for two horses to travel
side by side. The rock beneath your feet is more solid than the rest of the
area, as the bottom of the canyon draws closer. Further south lies the end of
this path, and the pit of the gorge.

Fork in the Path
The cliffside turns towards the east, leading further into the canyon. To the
west, you see the entrance to a small cave in the side of the wall. Man made
scrapings on the sides of the wall lead you to believe that someone was here
recently. The path is gradually becoming narrower, making travel difficult.

The Wreckage of an Old Caravan
It appears these peddlers never managed to acquire an Aiel guide. Week old

The Middle of Nowhere
Endless flat sands stretch out in every direction. Out in the Waste,
wetlanders can only stagger onward as the relentluss sun hammers down at them,
and the dry air dries their throats, until finally they collapse from thirst or
