Sand Navigation: You can navigate the deep desert without becoming lost, locate water sources within a day's travel, and recognize the territorial markers of dangerous desert creatures. Caravans and pilgrims seek your expertise.
I travel light. Everything I need fits in one pack.
I judge people by how much water they waste.
Endurance: The desert tests. Those who pass deserve respect.
Guidance: A good guide brings everyone home.
A caravan I was guiding vanished in a sandstorm. I survived. They didn't. I need to find out what happened.
I know the location of a hidden oasis that appears only once a year. I've told no one.
I'm grimly fatalistic — the desert takes who it wants.
I refuse to enter the desert's deep interior again. Something lives out there.
