The other side of the river held the parts of the city that were important to those that mattered, the parts where the residents were free to move about the districts, at least most of the districts, most importantly to entertainment, the Moonlight District.The Burning Sun, as the god was called whose representation was the Daylight, was not even full in the sky, but those of the Flats could already feel the heat, especially since it was the season called Stasis. The Burning Sun was known to be a cruel and petty god. Animal sacrifice was regularly and often given in an attempt to appease her in hopes of easing the burning heat that could sear a person’s skin and even blind a person’s eyes. The laborers in the Flats all wore loose garments made of cotton and flattened, cone-shaped hats with wide brims, as a means of protection. The residents here were not called slaves, but the labor was hard, the conditions were terrible, the pay was paltry, and there was no real means of escaping the Flats. It is often from such oppression that heroes are born.[ATTACH=full]415915[/ATTACH][gm]By some quirk of fate or divine intervention, should anyone wish to play a beginning, adolescent character, any gaming system with which I am familiar will do. Send me a PM; I can further explain the parameters. No physical materials are needed. Having read many threads, all of which died, and hosted some, since 2016, I am fully prepared to simply entertain myself, at least until I, too, am dead.[/gm]</blockquote>
