Miah

Miah

Miah is a repeatable Vault

Description:

There was a city here. We can pick over its remains like jackals over old bones: palace walls, buried roads, shattered fountains. Sometimes we may find the knowledge of the dead, and sometimes the dead may find us. [You've found all the Expeditions in the Sands, although you can find and visit Miah several times.]

Start Description:

The city, Miah, has long been sunk in the desert. Only ghosts walk its streets. Anything left there will be well-hidden. And the Vagabond's curse hangs over it all: her revenge on the place that wronged her so.

Success Description:

The wind of Miah is a pettish wind. It tugs at our garments like a needy child; it tosses sand in our faces; it whines among the dust-choked stones. The desolation of the city is not quite absolute. There are pillars, arches, sand-blinded statues, steps to nowhere.

End Description:

We find relics in an abandoned chamber which might equally have been a cellar or a shrine. The walls are cracked and sand has poured through. When we return to the surface, the wind is rising. It almost tugs us from our feet. Perhaps it missed us.
