Scenes of Life

A glimpse from a tower; a glimpse from the street

Intriguing Architecture

Walls, inside and out

Inside the domes

Marvels of the architecture of your society

One last glimpse

A scene from any possible courtyard

Outside the city

Where the dates grow – rivers and irrigation near the city

Outside the city (not desert)

The wadi – upriver after the rains

Outside the city (beyond the water ways)

The dry grasslands (mangrove trees)

Between city and desert

Beyond the grasslands – before the sandy deserts

Between city and desert

Last stop before the desert – quiver trees

The Desert

Welcome to the desert baby (that’s salty water)

The Desert

Not everything is ‘sand’ – this is the hard packed dirt at the bottom of a dry lake and some salt marshes

The Desert

See, trees survive here, so can you

Plants/Flowers

More plants, found throughout Zakhara – Yes James, these are desert squash

Finally, the wildlife

Reptiles – bottom right and top left are not harmful

Bottom of the food chain

Yes, those things above me do look delicious

In the skies

What the big boys eat

The grazing herds (yes a desert goat)

Some predators

Not pictured – asiatic lion

The End

FYI – all these images are from the middle east, which is a basis for my ideas on Zakhara. Some people use American desert fauna and flora for their campaigns (coyotes and cactus), but I wanted something with a middle eastern feel.

Richie – welcome to your home
