'the ways into Raraku...Of the countless trails that passed through the hills, all but a few led only to death. The false routes were cleverly directed away from the few waterholes and springs. Without water, Raraku's sun was a fatal companion...the Holy Desert...Raraku shaped all who had known it' (DG, UK MMPB, p.198-9)

Fiddler: 'Quick Ben's knowledge of the Holy Desert is, uh, vast...he spoke of the Vanished Roads...an ancient road that sleeps beneath the sands and appears only occasionally - if the winds are right, that is.'(DG, UK MMPB, p.348)

'Raraku reshapes all who come to it...What you were falls away, what you become is something different...Raraku's gifts are harsh...'(DG, UK MMPB, p.584)

See The Holy Desert for some Raraku-themed poetry
