Two new buildings unearthed!
The dig team has been hard at work as usual and we've recently unearthed The Academy and The Wizard's Tower! As it turns out, this was due in part due to a stroke of luck for as we were digging we noticed signs in the landscape indicating where a large chasm once existed. From some of the papers our translators have been working on we knew that between the Academy and the Wizards' Tower was a large chasm so as soon as we found one we could see the location of the other.
Interestingly enough that chasm wasn't always there. In fact, the Wizards' Tower was initially built on the Academy however some sort of cataclysmic event seperated them and created the chasm between them. This led to a long-standing quarrel between members of the two groups. The philisophers of the Academy blamed the wizards for creating the cataclysm, saying they could prove it with fixed rationality. The wizards on the other hand blamed the academic philosophers, saying they could prove it with fluid irrationality. They even went so far as to start referring to their tower as the "center of unreasonableness", in mockery of the academy's claim to be the "center of reason".
Most of the townspeople did not take sides in the fued. They did however resent having to struggle so hard to cross the gap every time they wanted to go from one place to the other. It seems there had been lots of discussion about building a bridge between them but our translators have not yet found anything which confirms whether such a bridge was built, nor have our diggers gone far enough into the sand to be able to determine it. We will be looking for that bridge though.
