001: NEVADA

๐Ÿฆ‚ Scroll of Nevada: Sand, Sin & Stars

โ€œWhere neon lights kiss desert shadows, and ancient spirits haunt the canyon winds.โ€

Origin Legend

Nevada was forged in paradox โ€” a desert land made rich by underground secrets. Beneath its sands lie silver veins, atomic echoes, and the legends of gamblers, pioneers, aliens, and outlaws. From the timeless hush of Red Rock Canyon to the roaring roulette wheels of Vegas, Nevada is the spellbound edge between wild survival and high-stakes glory. It is a land of extremes: sacred and profane, quiet and electric, grounded and cosmic. The traveler who survives Nevada returns not the same โ€” either richer in wisdom or luck, or both.
