[QUOTE="MacConnell, post: 9743716, member: 6855223"] The city of Ansylim is built near the mouth of the Crystal River, which flows across the desert known as the Burning Sands. Its head is in the mountain range called the Dragon’s Footprint. Aside from the vein of life provided by the river, the desert, as a whole, is inhospitable dunes of sand. Where the river meets the ocean, the cut bank has a rocky substrate and supports the walled districts. The other side washes over the bank creating a vast, muddy, brackish water marsh, called the Flats. The river is too wide to swim, especially with the current and the movement of the tides. The Flats provide the impetus for the existence of the city, but its residents, often called mud grubbers, are disdained by the others, especially those who have been branded on the face and remanded there after being caught as petty criminals. The higher areas of the marsh have been reinforced with fired brick, made from clays collected in the marsh, to create a maze of walkways that transverse the area for the cultivation of various crops and the collection of differing viscosities of clay. Most laborers are paid for the collection of materials used in other districts. Older residents who are no longer capable of such labor can earn some coin for the manufacture of straw hats. Residents are not specifically forced to work, but the alternative might be starvation, and it is natural for people to desire a sense of belonging. Nearly everyone is afraid to venture outside of one’s comfort zone. [ATTACH type="full" size="1600x580"]415921[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
