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...

Welcome to the Shifting Sands
Your characters will be a squad of Dwellers, tasked to scavenge supplies in any way necessary for the 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.
Fill that in, get a wink from me, and you're on board. With 4 Character sheets in and approved, the playing will commence!
