The Sadian People

Far north, over the mountain peaks of the Dorchestrian landscape, after the lands runs into the sea, and where the sea continues till another continent, reaches a place where sailors pray to the lady of the sea for good fortune and safe passage. The sea was bountiful, and how much gave was naught compared to how much she took, the graveyard of the Arie Bay, the cursed sea of the southern sea-port of Meltia.

  "They're over the border," cried soldiers wearing Alphian uniform. Night conquered the faded evening hue, street lanterns lit. The sandy stone paths, muddled by the wet footwear of the various traders and visitors, headed within the town-wall. The stone barrier perimeter around Meltia, tall and ominous, bore the crest of the church shy off the main entrance. Guards atop said barrier ran to and fro – as it happened, Meltia, located inside Ease was one of five provinces consisting the country of Waiwia. 

  "What's the matter?" inquired a gray-haired lady.
