0:00.0 | Between the east and west trading outposts lies a barren wasteland of sand and stone. |
0:16.6 | Where no animals roam and no plant life grows. |
0:20.2 | It's a solid flat plain without dunes, pitfalls or other such obstacles. |
0:26.8 | Despite the terrain being easy to traverse and although it only takes three days to walk, |
0:33.2 | most avoided, opting instead for the two week track around the wasteland. |

1:41.1 | the wind to pass through to produce the sound. |
1:44.4 | Impossible or not, the rock will laugh and laugh and laugh. |
1:52.4 | Beneath the boulder are bones, half eaten by the sand. |
