### 54

You head east, away from the line of the Azan River and into the 'Dragon's Teeth'. Further from the river, the limestone pinnacles are spaced at closer intervals, and you are forced to weave a zigzagging path between them. Though the ground is free from foliage, your progress is just as difficult as before, since it proves impossible to walk in a straight line for more than twenty paces before a stony column of huge, wind-worn rock blocks your path.

After an hour, you become lost in the dense maze of impassive rocks. The afternoon sun beats down mercilessly, as it slowly crosses the sky.

If you have the Power of Prophecy and wish to use it, turn to 278.

If you wish to turn left, turn to 184.

If you wish to turn right, turn to 228.

If you wish to continue straight ahead, turn to 238.
