Timeframe
The dream is shared by all the player characters. The main group, Keidanai, Kaizen, Dreg, Phane, Ayania, and Yasuo, are all one day into their desert trek.

Unknown to them, across the dunes, a sandbender is having the same dream...

The Dream Itself
A figure in a robe steps into a beam of light, face hidden. Standing before a shadowed throne-like chair, the figure speaks.

"I have received word. The son of Fu Zen and the daughter of Xian have ... entered the desert."

A hand reaches out from the shadow of the throne chair, grabbing the pommel of the armrest. A hooded figure leans forward. It speaks in the voice of an old woman.

"Excellent. I shall have my vengence upon the children of Xian. Send word to the rest of the Hollow Circle. What we seek is in the desert."

The first figure responds.

"It shall be as you say, Mistress Bao Bao."

The dream ends abruptly.
