To this day, we still do not know where the sands came from, only that it forced us from our homes. Now, we are stuck travelling like nomads from one oasis to another. When our cities disappeared in the sand, so did our hearts too apparently. All the races blamed each other for the great disaster and each went their own way. Now we have dozens of tribes roaming the sands, each tribe fighting for the little resources that are left. Basic resources like water and food are already scarce, but the things people really kill for, are down in the cities. Things like technology, books or whale oil. To retrieve these things, we sent down expeditions. But we quickly learned that it wasn't that simple. Apparently other creatures have made our old cities their home. So we trained special folk to go down. We called them [i]the Dwellers[/i]. Now that you know our history, I shall tell you a special tale. This tale begins with a peculiar tribe.

Like it says in the IC bit, the tribe consists of multiple races. Of course the standard human, elf, dwarf fall under that, but if you can come up with something clever, do not hesitate to throw the idea in the group. For you to nicely play along, I need you to fill out this Character Sheet. Do post this in the Characters Tab. Lovely stuff. [hider=Character Sheet] Name: Race: Age: Appearance: (Picture or description, up to you) Reason for joining the Outcasts: (Why was your character thrown out of his last village.

Don't be a master at 10012312 things) Motto/Catchphrase: [/hider] Fill that in, get a wink from me, and you're on board. With 4 Character sheets in and approved, the playing will commence!
