Two hexes north and one northwest of Alakran.
A playa is a dry lake bed, which might hold water briefly in the rainy season, as this one does -- and the water is relatively free of salt. It is the center of the range of several herds of wild camels who venture 10 miles (2 hexes) afield west of the Scarp. When their playa is waterless, they drink from the river that feeds the winged camels' lake, carefully avoiding those superior beings.
Well, when they can. Among the herd is a winged foal, sired by the leader of the winged camels in an unwitting drive toward genetic diversity. When it is old enough to fly it will join its kindred, as these by-blows always do. In the meantime it might be proitable to discover a winged steed of a kind that until now has been very successful at eluding capture.
