The land of Iliogis was bathed in sunlight, a warm breeze settling to blow across the fertile fields of the Land of the Sun. Farmers set about their daily routine, harvesting the vast amounts of crops that grew in the warm breeze and the light of the sun. Towards the coast, the lands became more developed, until the white stone that composed the Jewel of Iliogis, the capital city of Ilioevnoipolis, rose from the golden fields. The city of the sun spread across the coastline, dotted with ports. Within, Amazons went about their day. There was the forging of weapons, the selling of foods, clothing, and various other goods. Nem were also present in the city, though in smaller numbers, selling wares from the more arid southeast of Iliogis, or purchasing goods from these more fertile lands. Harpies worked deals out with Amazons to construct more... complete homes then they would have otherwise. In all respects the city was bustling with activity.

Tanya Palayen, Champion of Reon, huffed. The streets were crowded. It was annoying. People were staring. That ticked her off too. Just because she was the chosen champion of the Sun Goddess herself didn't mean so many people should stare at her! It annoyed her, it really annoyed her! She just wanted to buy some damn food already, but no, so many stares and questions... Hmph. Well, at least she was serving Reon...

And upon a hill, near the old stone Reon had first appeared on, within the most Grand of the White Temples to the Sun Goddess... sat Reon herself. She was similarly sulky to her chosen champion. This was mostly because the goddess was bored. She wanted to do... something, jeez, she'd settle for talking to an idiot right now... but everyone seemed quite busy and her advice was not necessary at the moment. There was an Amazonian emissary sent to discuss further trade with their allies, but the land of Iliogis was quite peaceful for the moment.

Which was good. That wasn't the boring part, at least.
