Zoantha Cascade
At Zoantha, desert sands cascade over the rock face. Offerings to the Ascended also draw treasure hunters to the falls.

A fall of sand, not water
Zoantha is a sandfall: shifting desert sands spill over the rock face in great cascades. The apparent fluidity can be misleading in a still image. This is an example of the desert reshaping stone through movement, rather than an oasis supplied by a waterfall.
Why this place matters
Shuriman tradition describes cherished objects thrown into such falls as offerings to the Ascended. Treasure hunters are drawn by what those gifts leave behind. The same landscape can therefore be a sacred destination and a place where someone hopes to recover wealth.
