The road through the ruins is the old East Province high road.The province has been in decline for the last century, as the grand Aquifers of Zeth, built of old by King Balkasa the Architect, have failed and run dry. By the time of the reign of King Osric the land had already fallen into ruin. What remained of its revenues was gifted to savage tribesmen; in the present anarchy even this arrangement has failed. the east province is now known as the Sand Lands. It is ruled by none but the demons of the desert. Grand ruins litter the banks of dusty canals. Only isolated settlements remain where once great metropoli stood-the desert has reclaimed the green pastures of old. As the song runs:

"Now in the towers of High Farak, the owl sounds. Jackals have seized the lampless streets."
