A solitary bastion of pale granite, Stenwall rises from the ochre sands like a runic monolith. Viking long‑house roofs—their pine shingles bleached silver by desert sun—cluster inside stout curtain walls studded with rune‑carved watch‑towers. A deep well, said to have been blessed by Skadi herself, keeps the settlement alive, while wind‑worn dragon‑prows mark the gates. Within, you’ll find a bustling bazaar where northern furs trade for cactus‐blossom spirits, and a small hof where skalds recite sagas of ice beneath sweltering stars. Beyond the palisade, shifting dunes hide half‑buried bones of earlier wanderers—silent warning to raiders and wyrms alike.
