Trivia

• As with all the Etchings, Etching: Haboob is named for a real-life phenomenon. Haboobs are intense dust storms or sandstorms found in dry regions.
• This Etching has New Krytan text in its symbol that contains the following:
  • Inner Ring: Moving mountains is as simple as thinking. Life is in eternal motion. It's simple.
  • Middle Ring: Adapt. Thrive. Crumble. The Eternal Cycle. If all things have limits, where are mine?
  • Outer Ring: I am the curator of eternity's refuse. All things come back to me. I can wait for you.
  • Two letters M and Z each separately encased in circles, which presumably signify Mordremoth and Zhaitan
