Lore

From the Spirit Panel

Dahan herders are very familiar with Rising Heat of Stone and Sand: the signs of its presence are passed down from generation to generation, so it can be acknowledged and thanked for safe passage across its scorching domain. Even after centuries, the Spirit remains a bit unclear on why living things get so unhappy about fatal desiccation, but the Dahan make such pleasant patterns across its sands that it's happy to forbear.

It is mostly found in sandy and rocky lands with sparse vegetation, but may also reside in volcanic areas, or even stretches of gravel or sand amidst wetter climates, radiating an intense and unusual heat all around.
