As soon as they emerge from the caverns - and there's a collective sense of relief when they do - Sherral leads the group onto a cliff just above the caverns.
It gives, among other things, a good view of the Sandsea, especially how very literal that term is: Whether naturally or by magic, the sand of this desert is like water, flowing and shifting and visibly not solid enough to step on. But it's scattered with islands and pathways of rock and clay, with plants and rough scrub growing on them here and there.
Also notable is how the Sandsea seems to be dotted with abandoned oil rigs - vast black metal with raised paths connecting them to each other and to the rocky islands.
Once they're up onto the cliffs, the soldiers set about setting up camp, with a group of four heading to the pack chocobos and assembling a device that looks rather like a large, ornate basin of water with a greenish crystal floating above it.
