No one goes here, despite the great wealth to be found, because of the Stones of Sickness. Once a tribe were turned into stones because of a great evil. These stones gather around travellers at night, or hide under them in the sand. They are so malevolent that their presence causes sickness, unless they can be found and destroyed.
Isn't there a site like that in the Pomarj?
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure. My inspiration was my friend telling me that local Aboriginals used to call a place where there were uranium deposits 'sickness country'.
