Chargilik, Southern Silk Road.

Displaced time, place, culture, people.

Displaced cities in sands of no return. Yutong on threads of silk, sunken chasms out of the wind, out of the reality of precarious travel.

Monks, warriors, merchants take leave to great games, games of a romantic deadly nature.

Empires North and North West over sea take leave to one uninvited and one incumbent.

One incumbent before that scarred and frayed, silent and enduring.
