GAZETTEER · THE SOUTHERN FLATS
Saltreach Spring
The only standing settlement in the Southern Flats — a handful of mud-and-rib-stone houses hidden in a sheltered hollow around the region's one living spring.
Tucked in a rib-hollow where the rock-walls keep the worst of the heat back, Saltreach Spring is invisible from the open pan until you are almost inside it. A Reshi well-keeper named Reshi the Dry runs the water, tolerates the Silt Hands' transit trade, and sells silence alongside cups. Pilgrims, drovers, and the occasional desperate southbound traveller find rest here and a chance to fill their skins before the crossing kills them.
