Anyone who sleeps in one part of the Singing Wastes (09.29) finds their rest interrupted by a tall, lanky figure in a white cloak known as the Dune Walker. The Dune Walker seizes its victims and kisses them forcibly on the mouth. During the kiss, the victim will have a traumatic revelation of how either their most beloved friend or most despised enemy will die. All of its victims visibly age after the kiss.
The Dune Walker seems impervious to weapons and magic, and cannot be negotiated with. Those who return from the dunes remember only its weathered, toothless mouth beneath a white hood. When its business is finished the Dune Walker shuffles away until it vanishes in the dark.
