Desert adventure8/30/2023 Participants will gather in the evening at a hotel in Grand Junction for introductions, drinks, dinner and a review of the trip itinerary. We end our journey back in Grand Junction with a visit to a local winery and a good restaurant to reflect on a dramatic trip through time.ĭAY 1: ARRIVAL AT GRAND JUNCTION, COLORADO We will spend a day walking among arches, spires and dinosaur tracks and have the opportunity for a trail ride across settings featured in countless Westerns or a boat trip down the Colorado River. The dramatic but accessible landscapes of nearby Arches and Canyonlands national parks explain why. Our route continues north along the eastern edge of Utah to Moab, a bustling town that contrasts with sleepy Torrey and Bluff. Two nights in Bluff, a quiet but historical town that has escaped being over-run by overzealous tourists, give us the opportunity for a Navajo-guide led tour of Monument Valley and a visit to narrow canyons with cliff dwellings and paintings and etchings of long-vanished families and communities. We will then head southeast to Bluff, Utah, stopping to visit cliff dwellings overlooking the Colorado River and learning the history of towns and canyons buried when Lake Powell formed behind the Glen Canyon Dam (and now being slowly re-exposed as the lake level drops). Over two days we will take in extensive vistas of the Colorado Plateau from spectacular clifftops, hike slot canyons of Capitol Reef’s dramatic Waterpocket Fold, visit early Mormon settlements along shady tree-lined streams and drive across Boulder Mountain to learn about Anasazi pueblos. Starting in Grand Junction we will drive west across the flat desert landscape of eastern Utah to Torrey, the frontier town to Capitol Reef National Park. Join two experienced geologists, Russell Davies and Janok Bhattacharya, to learn about the rocks and their influence on the history of the area. Southeastern Utah holds a wealth of fascinating geological and cultural stories. Contact an expert to book your Discovery Tourġ9 September 2023 - 9 days for USD $5,675 - No single supplements Me? I always read that (even as a teen) as a bit of cheeky marketing/humor by Hickman, not actual world building.Let's chat. Though I suppose the case could be made that it actually exists in whatever world the original I3-I5 does as on p.28 of I5, in Marteks treasury, on the Nonmagical scrolls table result #2 is: a poster: Visit beautiful Barovia DoD is the name of the module series, Pharaoh/Oasis of the white Palm/Lost Tomb of Martek are actually the chapter names/subtitles.īTW, you want to know what other wildly popular module is setting agnostic?Įp, good old I6. So one can very well talk about the DoD as being setting agnostic & be correct. "The last module in the Desert Of Desolation series." "The second module in the Desert Of Desolation series." "The 1st module in the Desert Of Desolation series." The original modules in the series I3, I4, & I5 very clearly tell you right on the covers that they are the Desert of Desolation series. I agree with starting with Lost City to fill in lower levels, then DoD, but then either make new adventures, the Book with no End (fits the history of the region) or connect it to Al Qadim adventures which are on the same world, and could connect easily using an old Imaskari Portal to Zakhara, but then you'd have to add the Zakharan Pantheon. It was the first adventure in FR and I think it was the second FR book published after a novel. There are references to Mulhorand, Imaskar, Durpar, and more. Were massively altered because of DoD from Ed Greenwood's vague idea of these places and fleshed out. Old Empires Source book was written because of DoD and between the two books there were massive implications for the Eastern half of Faerun. DoD is not setting agnostic, the modules that inspired it are, but DoD is based in the forgotten realms, DoD is Forgotten Realms canon, and in fact DoD largely caused the reshaping of the Eastern Part of the Realms.
