			** Vraveio would eventually fall (to desert? maelstrom?)

			* Barrels of Pyrgos-water are shed in oases in the eastern desert, keeping their forgehearts stable and allowing stepping stone passage from Pyrgos to the coast.
			** The Strange-corruption of the region boiled away as the desert spread, but it has lingered and corrupted some of the oases, traps for unsuspecting travelers seeking shelter.
			*** They are haunted by eldritch dream-madness and in some the Neogi princes dwell, enslaving those they catch.
