Generations ago, all that lay here were a handful of sandstone homes, a well, and a pair of ancient joshua trees, wrapped around each other – the namesake of the town once known as Desert Knot.
The oldest part of Frontier Town was still intact, even in 181 CE. The sandstone houses still stood, over on the west side of town, in the 'old quarter'. Their sides were painted with colourful geometric patterns to decorate them and provide directions. Betel's telepathic translation made these comprehensible even to Wayfarers. Here, a small local tavern made an attraction of the obscure local culture, drowned out by generations of Frontier Town growing larger and larger until the old quarter had been swallowed by it.
Part of the old quarter was a sort of public park that served also as a community garden. There were private spots here to rest awhile on a bench, and foot traffic was limited. It was out of the way enough that at the quiet times of day, hardly anyone used it – which made it all the more precious to those who did.
In the centre, a small shrine carved in sandstone depicted the historical patron of Desert Knot – the Saint of Song and Step.
