The Shifting Sands
"It has been 141 years since the great Calamity. 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 had made our old cities their home. So we trained special footman to go down. We called them, the Dwellers.
Now that you know our history, I shall tell you a special tale. This tale begins with a peculiar tribe. You see, this tribe had people from all races. Human, elves, dwarves, you name it, they had it. Why was it like that you ask? Well, this tribe was tribe of outcasts. People thrown out of their original tribe for whatever reason, come to this camp to continue living. Here your past didn't matter, only the present and the future. And this tribe too had special trained Dwellers, which this story will be about...

Right, hello there people! After being gone for a year, I decided to return with this idea. To sum it up in short: Fantasy world with steampunk elements lived all in harmony and happy, something happened and everything was swept away by sand. Few survivors don't like each other and split apart. Now it's a quest for survival and stuff.
You guys will play the group of Dwellers that was mentioned, and you will be scavenging the desert and cities below the sands for whatever resources your tribe can use (and who knows what else you might find down there).
If you're interested in this Roleplay, post something down below. Of course, if you have questions, don't be afraid to ask them (either by PM or just down here. I'm looking for around 4-5 people interested to start this.
Alright, let's do this!
Unfortunately, I have to reopen this interest check. We lost 4 people who disappeared without a trace (sort of). We're still early in the story and I would like 2 more people to consider the group ready and large enough.
If you are interested, head to the IC post, read through what has happened thus far and then send me a PM. Due to the weird construction, I need to retcon some stuff. I rather keep the OOC clear from that.
Right... Let's do this. Let's blow in some life!
