Trials are part of a Shantiah's life, from the very beginning.
The Shantiahe were a disparate civilization that spanned a whole continent, until the I.D.E.A. came and settled on their dimension. Now worn out and desperate, they wait for the return of their messiah.
A malevolent entity, the Sandstorm is the equivalent to a god of evil in Shantiah culture. Purely mythical, it is the manifestation of abnormal events and disaster that may strike the Shan desert.
