Siltbreaker/Act I/The Road to Kalabor



The The Road to Kalabor is, after the starting zone, the seventh zone of the first act the Siltbreaker campaign.

Geography
The Road to Kalabor is a route through a canyon. To the north of the area, there is a giant chasm separating the Kalabor Desert from the road to Kalabor. The climate is presumably semiarid, judging by the unusual rich flora, with plants on every hill and giant roots ranking through the grounds. However, it seems like it slowly turns into a desert, facing a heavy dry period so that most plants are dead and the ground is forming giant cracks in it, most likely the results of Rhyzik's work.

The path itself is straight forward, as it does not split off anywhere and is one continuous line towards the entry to the Kalabor Oasis. However, due to nature, the path is not direct and has to back and forth a few times. The path starts at the very east and first goes northwards before turning west. It goes along the giant chasm mentioned earlier. After going a while, the path takes a left U turn. Again after a short while, it takes another U turn, but to the right. From here, the path goes south-west until reaching the southern-most part. Here the path turns one last time to the right, straight to the entrance of the Kalabor Oasis. This last part of the path is much wider than any of its previous parts.
