The Verdant Shelf was the wildest place on the mountain.
The cities had their gardens. The mixed-blood districts bloomed with Vor'lumen wherever pregnant women walked, the desert retreating from footpaths and market squares, green spreading outward in patches that grew wider each month. the lowlands east of Zhū'kethara, the first farms in thousands of years were taking root — demon cultivators working soil that had been sand a year ago, planting grain and root vegetables in earth that the mixed-blood women's presence had enriched to a depth the agricultural advisors couldn't quite believe. The first harvest was weeks away. Enough to prove the land could feed them again.
