Terraforming Terror

Well you've gone and done it now. One too many times you boasted to your fellow mages that you could single handedly 'tame that blasted desert,' and now they are making you put your money where your mouth is, whether you like it or not. They sealed you in a pod, aimed the launch tube at the nearest desert, and sent you on your not so merry way, with little more than the clothes on your back, your favorite wand, and a trusted animal companion. The Arcane Fold has already attemtped to terraform the deserts of this world, to devestating effect. Mana storms rip through them and the very ground itself shakes violently. You must tame this desert, and prove yourself to the fold. (By selling them one Major Arcane Gem of Wonder) Good luck.
