Sand Sleds Vehicle in Chimera D10 | World Anvil

Sand Sleds

It was like a carriage and much devoid of sand on the inside. These savages who lived in such brutal conditions kept up the appearance of civility and cleanliness, but for how long, really?
--Crown City Envoy
  The Balagri, banished to the The Gorgonian Wastes have long lived in nomadic caravans pulled long into the night by their noble and trusty steads, horses that the Balagri refer to as krsikwo. They run long into the night and rarely during the petrifying morning, their sleds with their runner's of metal cutting like sand sharks though that foul place.  

Vehicle Exterior

  The sled itself is X in length and X in height, appearing as a carriage without wheels or a ship as a sled.   the sled has runners, or beams that run along the bottom of the sled to enable it to slide. These runners bend out from the main body and curve toward the ground at a pointed edge. The runner runs the length of the sled to the bow where it intersects with the pointed edge of the ship. It there dips down below the sand like a backwards dorsal fin where it cuts and redirects the sands.   The sled also has a footboard and seat for the driver. a harness will connect from the beast(s) and enable the driver to control them. In the hot day, this can grow quickly wearisome, and as such, the entire top of the sled has a canopy. It is made of a fine cotton, imported and thus blocks out the su while still remaining breathable.
