Ōra: Dicks?
“Fun when invited, pain in the ass when not. Anyway, we’re good now. Aurite?
You walk to a foodbag
“You guys make booze out of this, right?”
Ōra: With time and water, yes.
“Well you can make a lot more now, let’s get PROPERLY jag.”
Ōra: Anhēŋŋi nā lā!
That one ALL the farmers cheered for.

It took you four ipus of the crap, and your belly’s about to burst. But after a week in this muggy wasteland you are finally, truly fucked up. Now to enjoy a peaceful blackout-
6 Knife: Makana..
“Ugh. Sorry 6, I don’t oof my employees. Waay too creepy.”
6 Knife: Gross.
“Ha, so the kill machine has a sense of humor.”
6 Knife: From you to them: restraint. Not rulership.
“You sayin’ I went soft? Maybe I just didnt wanna be stuck running this hamajang dump.”
6 Knife: Good. Too many rulers here. Not enough fighters.
“Don’t go preaching now, Wakky. I kept a jizz-topped buggah from cockroaching food. Doesn’t mean I’m joining your kill club.”
6 scoffs and...smiles? Shit must be better than you thought, you must be hallucinating.
6 Knife: You? Not a chance.
The warrior walks off as the sounds of celebration lull you to sleep.

Makana is now {Accomplice of The Plains}:
Due to your aid, the people of the Plains see you as an accomplice against the oppression of the Guilds. Word of your support spreads through the regions.
What next?
>Go to The BindingOnce a barren island where outcasts and “criminals” were sent, the Seeker’s Guild is using slave labor to make it a shipyard in an attempt to reproduce The Great Fleet.
>Go to The MountainHome to the Great Machines that provide water to the lands. Its workers have long been exploited. Some say an uprising is imminent. The water is how the Fountain Guild keeps its power, if it was disrupted their regime would be weakened.
>Go to The SpringThis city of sin is the headquarters of both the Guilds and the Great Temple of the Servants of Peace. As well as Freetown, a community of the formerly enslaved that has started a campaign against the scourge of bondage. Resentment is building in the Guilds themselves as the advisors who actually run them see the wealthy Guildmasters sink into debauchery. And 6 Knife has shown you friction is building from Servants of Peace who detest The Temple’s alliance with the Fountain Guild.
>Go to The DesertHome to countless people the Guilds have long exploited. The Fountain Guild send the Servants of Peace to raid their cities. Those not killed are enslaved and sold to the Kitchen Guild, who grow wealthy trading them across the river system. The Guilds claim dominion over the whole of the desert, but it stretches beyond the horizon and holds societies as ancient as the sand itself.
> Attempt to Achieve Your GoalTry to establish your power in this foreign land.
