Rise Up

From Create Your Own Story

The scorching sun beats down upon you, your sweat has already stuck your plain linen rags to your skin. The day has just begun but you are already exhausted, briefly pausing from your work to take a long drink from a leather skin tied around your neck by a thin strand of string.

You are a peasant, working on the dry, unfertile lands of Asaphor, a small port town in the country Gezel, a moderately poor nation almost completely covered in sand, with only small pockets of farmable land, such as this one, to be found.
