The Stakeout

The night was eerily lit by the four moons of Galatea. Galos, Tela, Plena, and Egel hung in the east, close to each other, like the petals of a flower. Galos, the largest and farthest moon, was the brightest.

Ancient folk tales of Galatea sung that a radiant Galos brought misfortune. The older generations of the planet believed that the four moons were sibling gods and goddesses. Tela, Plena, and Egel were the sisters, and Galos was the elder brother. When the latter was in his prime in the sky, war and strife arose in the lands. Therefore, old folks prayed to the three sisters to convince their brother to simmer down.

A chilly breeze blew from the northern desert. It was miraculous that a green city had flourished in the middle of nowhere. To Troth's west border lay the Zanzibar forests, Licht, and Loch lake. The outland deserts bounded the East, North, and South borders.

The closest city was Concord, over a thousand miles away via the trunk road.
