The Folios of the Fata Morgana (Nomadic Expansions)
The Sandstone Server-Vaults: Navigate the "Towers of Singing Grain," a vertical labyrinth of wooden gears and wind-tuned pipes where the desert’s ancient navigation-AI has developed a cryptic, sun-mad ego. The whistling in the canyons isn't the breeze—it’s the city calculating the weight of your shadow.
The Mirage Fever: A shimmering haze of "Aerosolized Gold-Dust" and "Refracted Light" is drifting through the canyons, turning the travelers into unmoving, crystalline statues that believe they’ve already reached paradise. You must reach the Wind-Bellows to disperse the glitter before the "Silt Fever" causes your memories to erode into fine, unreadable sand.
The Obsidian Mesa-Net: Infiltrate the soaring, sun-baked towers of the Dune-Mandarins. A three-way desert war has ignited between a radical "Sand-Spirit" insurgency, a fleet of sail-powered land-skiffs, and a sentient, gold-inlaid Abacus-Processor housed in a vault of liquid mercury. Will you balance the water-ledgers or let the desert reclaim the gears?
