The Howling Wastes is a remote area in the east of the Dark Lands. It is a flat, desolate plain plagued by a thin, devil-spawned wind that whips across the blighted landscape and pulls at ones clothes and hair like the grasping fingers of mean-spirited children. Upon the wind are carried voices, horrible voices that whenever the wind picks up rise into a wailing clamour like the protests of the damned. Since the disastrous test of the Hammer of Hashut, the Howling Wastes also serve as a testing area for the Chaos Dwarf Death Rockets, due to its distance from Chaos Dwarf settlements.
Scarcely anyone or thing lives here aside from outcasts and brigands, but it is notable for the Sentinels, a towering rock formation where the Silver Road, the Spice Flow and the Ivory Road intersect. The only place of relative sanctuary in the Howling Wastes, it acts as a trading post for Rhinoxen, furs, provisions and other equipment necessary for a sustained trek through the mountains, and a caravan will often change guard in this location before heading off on the next leg of its journey. The sheer faces of these standing stones, eroded by aeons of harsh weather, have countless winches, lantern tunnels, Gnoblar nests, smuggling holes and pulley systems set into them, and harbour so many adventurers and entrepreneurs that they teem with activity day and night.
