## From the Knowledge Book

**Desalam**

Desalam is an archaeologist, currently researching the Scarlet Sand Chamber.

Born to a Mediahn mother and Valencian father, she grew up learning both of her parents' cultures on her travels. The legend of the Valencian lake led her to dream of becoming an explorer. The following is her favorite line:
"The land on which the present-day Valencia City was established used to be a desert. One day, a Giant appeared and blew a breath of sandstorm, and a chunk of sand was dug out. The Giant waved his hand, and the hole was filled with water."
