What does this information mean?

[edit] Description

This is the entry point into the expansion. From the docks, anyone can take the carpet ride to Maj'Dul or run across the sands to The Clefts of Rujark or The Pillars of Flame. The Sinking Sands are a broad stretch of mountainous sand dunes punctuated by the occasional oasis or impact crater. Steep cliffs cut the area off from the sea on many sides. A series of caves undercuts the cliffs to create a breeding ground for saltwater crocodiles and caimans.

To the north, the same type of cave has revealed the entrance to The Silent City, an ancient metropolis smothered by divine wrath. A handful of mesas stand guard at the region's western edge, their caves providing shelter to the Sandfang clan of jackal gnolls.
