Sandman, arc VII

This is laaaate, but here's the next and possibly last arc of Sandman I'm writing about as things have happened.

So, this starts off with a very thick one-shot for the series' fiftieth issue. It's about the golden age of Islam, of all things, and takes place during Ramadan, one of that religion's holiest seasons. It explains the mythical wonders of Baghdad, how impossible the city is, and how it can't last. There's a surprising amount of mortality in this issue, as the Caliph currently in charge-- possibly the most well-known Caliph of old, even-- decides to sell of Baghdad in it's prime to Dream.
Then the ark starts, with the inn at the end of the world. It's a whole bunch of people, and they sit around in this impossibly inn waiting for a storm to end. It's a collection of people from the end of various worlds, and a notable thing is that they all tell boy's tales, from ships on the sea to a city of the dead.
The end, though, well.... The storm preceded a funeral, with Destiny in the lead, and Delirium and Death at the back. There were all sorts of creatures from Dream's domain there, so....
I'm thinking that Dream has died somehow.
Ahhhhhhhhhhg I want to know what happens next.
