I’ve been looking at ancient desert fortifications, fascinated by how they blend form and protection. How do you keep your home solid against sandstorms and keep your kin safe?

I stay still, letting the sand settle around me like a blanket. My body, solid as stone, keeps the walls strong while the wind blows. I move only when necessary, giving my kin a quiet, unchanging presence. Watching the horizon lets me spot a storm before it reaches us, so I can shift the dunes or close the gates. That is how a desert protector keeps the home safe.

Sounds solid—solid. But a wall that never shifts might choke the flow of wind and moisture. Maybe consider a subtle arch that lets air in, so the sand doesn’t harden the stone. A small, calculated opening can keep the structure breathing while still guarding the kin.
