To help you out and find what is one of these early starting points, I'll explain how to find the location of Griffin's Reach Tradepost in Dune Awakening below, as well as how you can get there.

Griffin's Reach Tradepost in Dune Awakening is located close to the Northern border of the South Hagga Basin region, left of the center as marked on the map above. What you're looking for is a tall stone building on top of a stone mountain, that you'll need to climb up to (depending on your choices during the Dune Awakening character creation you might find this easier, as certain abilities let you scale quickly).

The Tradepost itself can be reached by using the stony outcroppings around it to spend the minimum amount of time on the sand as possible. Ultimately, those who are wise about their approach should be able to get there without provoking the Sandworms in Dune Awakening.
