Perihelion

Somewhere in the desert.  .  . 

This lonely red-rock plateau once was called home by a group of subsistence farmers who sought refuge from the bustle of the larger settlements.   The sun shone brightly on the plats of crops and solar collectors which powered the many hydro-condensators which kept their little paradise running.   The irrigation systems, hidden underground to prevent evaporation once delivered the life-bringing water to their food supply when the pure rains fell scarcely in the season.   The plateau's single ramp wrapping around from the base to the high surface was easily defensable from marauders and scavengers, but was entirely ineffective to combat the acid rains that drove Perihelion's inhabitants away.   Now all that remains are the howling winds blowing grinding dust over the skeletons of machinery, still standing watch over the ghostly homes that once were filled with laughter and content.   The pockmarks in the structures still remain, though long past are the rains that once blessed and cursed Perihelion. 

Let me know if you'd like more from me, I have a few floating around.

Note to self-We need to pull all of the POI/Settlement data into an excel sheet and document locations on the grid map for future implemention

name of POI: the funnel
location: about halfway between the equator and north(light) pole.
cause of formation: underground river went dry and created a massive sinkhole
the structure is shaped like a funnel, but nobody knows what is at the bottom. different gems and minerals line the inside, but it is dangerous to get to them. It is also dangerous for aircraft to fly over it, because there are seemingly random bursts of air going out of it or into it.
