Sinking Sands

The Sinking Sands are a wide stretch of beach that separate the town of Derry from the largest of the Desert Isles. Although at low tide they may seem passable, they are formed mainly of treacherous quicksand. When the tide comes in, the Sinking Sands are swallowed up by the ocean, leaving only a narrow stretch of passable terrain, known as the Sand Bridge. At their western edge, the Sinking Sands open onto the vast Brave Dunes of the desert proper.
