The spear of the desert winds is one of the destiny arms, once carried by the sun giant chieftain Axa’tasamat. Long after the war with the quori ended, Axa’tasamat returned to the desert home of his tribe and ruled in relative peace. Upon his death, the spear of the desert winds was entombed with him in a sacred crypt beneath the burning sands.
Axa’tasamat’s tomb has been sealed since his death forty thousand years ago, and while others still camp in the surrounding area, they avoid the sacred ground. The PCs face a number of challenges before they can retrieve the spear, not least of which is the desert itself.
