When the sky-darkening sandstorm subsided, Karez was the first to light a flame. Drawn by that beacon, survivors from the surrounding lands came, supporting one another as they arrived.
Unable to forget their kin lost to the desert, the people lingered long upon the dunes. As days and nights turned, they gradually learned to understand the language of the wind.
