About
- Shredhara Desert is the region; its capital is El Alia. A desert oasis market town of terraced adobe and tile in warm clay, with arches, shade sails and copper lanterns, a little gothic. It is known for glassblowing and for duneboarding. Part of Halfpipe World. Team: the Wyverns (basketball). The daily legend is a gentle giant wyvern who guards the springs, and wyvern hatchlings are rare creatures on the route.
Planned mechanics
- Basketball (live, 1.19). Talk to Iago at the Duneboard Shack and pick *Play basketball* (Sandlot Court) vs the Dust Devils. Played right on the town street (no separate screen): one screen wide, a goal at each edge; townsfolk step back to the fence to watch and the town keeps going. Pick 1v1 or 2v2 from the host's talk panel; a small score chip shows score, clock and controls, Esc leaves. 1v1 or 2v2; AI kids fill every slot but yours. 2:00 clock, then the score stands (ties stay ties). Tap E to pass, hold E to shoot, E on defence to steal / tackle, Space to jump. Shots arc to a hoop at each edge: let go of E when the meter is full; long shots are worth 3, and a jump at the hoop dunks.
- Duneboarding. A new Downhill variant on sand: slower and carvier, with sand plumes and wind gusts that lift your airs. Collect glass "dune glints" for the glassblower.

- A small town of friendly vampires, reached by bus from El Alia once you have ridden the El Alia route. It shares El Alia's gothic look: dark stone, candle-amber windows, and orange and purple accents only. It is always dusk or darker here, and darkest in October.
- Places. Coach Stop (the bus stop), Candlewick Chandlery, Night Market Hall, Pumpkin Patch Cottage and the Count's Townhouse.
- Pumpkin patch. Beside Pumpkin Patch Cottage there are two pumpkin piles. Press E to pick a pumpkin and carve it; the carved one glows at night. Each pile gives one carved pumpkin a day.
- Shops. Calypso sells candles that become pipe decor (amber taper, plum pillar, skull candle, jar candle, bat votive). Lily sells spiced cider, which makes friendship count double for 15 minutes.
- Errands. Prospero, the Count, sends an invitation to Sonny in El Alia.
- People. Prospero (bat, the Count), Calypso (cat, candle maker), Corvin (raven, town crier and letter carrier), Fido (wolf, night watchman), Olin (owl, pumpkin farmer) and Lily (frog, potion maker). Kids: Circe, Samson, Zina and Ximena, who ride brooms.
