The Headless

Overview

There exists an lonely oasis along the desert road which shadows the Untaltar. It is said that a merchant was so angered at the sandstorm blowing through and delaying his travels that he slaughtered a dozen of his slaves to appease the wind god, Dailor. He allegedly buried their headless bodies in the sand, and tied their decapitated heads to his wagons as charms to maintain a storm free journey to his destination. No one stops at this spot any more, as the entire oasis is believed haunted by the angry ghosts of those unfortunate victims. It is feared that they will seek revenge on any merchant who they can catch, adding more blood and sorrow to the sands.

Location

The exact whereabouts of this haunted oasis is unknown as the original course of the caravan track has since shifted to bypass the location.
