Somewhere in a less barren part of the desert is a smattering of huts. A small desert village. On the horizon, silhouetted against the sun, the locals see a great jackal, the size of an average building, prowling the sands. The light sparkles off its golden collar.

Far in the distance, the jackal sees a massive Tower, that reaches up into the sky. Surrounding the tower is a huge storm.

Ya know that thing in movies where they zoom out the background but the guy in the frame stays at the same distance? It’s like that with the jackal. Around him, the scenery stretches and distorts until the he is standing at the base of the tower. 1/3 teleports used.
He stalkers around the tower, looking for an entrance

As Crotalus begins to traverse the expansive and numerous environments, he first comes across arrays of farms, with parallel trenches growing food such as large mushrooms and root veggies. The grass in the area is a soft, luminescent kind of plant that gently brushes and grabs your feet as you walk through it, but without any malice or harm inflicted upon you.
The people who tend the farms are as varied as any group of humans, and they have started to come up with their own culture too. Popular apparel seems to include colors like gold, blue, and red. They are all very welcoming, and show obvious awe and respect if they can clearly tell that Crotalus is a god.
*No problem. I have been gone for a few days as well.*
The god of desert and famine stalks through the lush land, completely out of place. Mortals who spot him see a strange, skinny traveler in a dusty, patterned poncho, cowboy boots and a wide-brimmed hat.
The grass that clings to him is drained off its water, becoming dry and brittle. Nettles spring up along its stalks, causing it to sting anyone it grabs.
"Such... opulence. How unnecessary, how wasteful." His hand stretches out, skin stretched taunt across his angled bones, and plucks away a ripe fruit. Nothing stings him. No thorns pierce his flesh and the fruit is soft and swollen, not shriveled and dry. He takes a bite. His taste buds are not inflamed with the spiciness and his throat isn't burned by the acidic juice of a water-starved plant, instead it is sweet and juicy.
(shoot i think my brain isn't working. Does he like the fruit? Is it one that the people are just growing?)
Multiple people approach, seeing what seems like a malnourished person in need of food and possible help. "Want water? Bubblefruit yogurt?" One little boy notices that the worm-like grass has died from you stepping on it. "If ya don't like wormgrass, eat this gooieduck. It repels the grass." He hands you a strange, soft teal object with black stringy stuff wrapped around it.
*He dislikes the fruit. It is too easy and lush for him to enjoy.*
A thin smile stretches across his hollow cheeked face but it is quickly replaced by a sorrowful look of desperation. "I'm... I'm starving.... Do you kind people have any food...?" He takes the goodieduck and eats it with the voracity of a man who hasn't eaten in days.

The base of the Tower of Gears is about ½ mile in diameter, and it rises 4 miles into the sky, though only the bottom third is visible (total volume ≈ 1 cubic mile). No entrance is visible anywhere.

The mesh allows them to enter, passing between ⅛ mile of complex clockworks before entering a huge chamber, about a mile high and ¼ mile in diameter.
A giant human heart made of machinery and clear crystal hangs down from the ceiling, pumping some sort of yellow liquid.

Karka shifts back into giant jackal form and steps closer, curiously.
