Rare to the desert and considered blessed by the Tribe, the Heliacal Springs reside halfway between the Holds of Sekhmet and the Dunes of Discipline. All are required to stop and give worship to Sekhmet before going on, as required by the priests who claim to have exchanged words with the goddess herself. The springs provide a small relief along the way. The journey to the training grounds is arduous, and is seen as a test in itself, for only the strongest and most powerful cats are designated protectors.
