Bushes give some definition to the sides of the road. A few farms can be seen past the bushes. A strong gust of wind blows over you as you stand atop this hill. Gazing further along the road you see the village square, the main part of town. To the south lies the path which leads all the way down the hill. Black clouds torment the sky, as a drizzle begins.

You figure that term's used loosely, since there are just a few blankets stashed in the corner. The bare wooden walls have been built rather closely together, giving little room. How horrible it would be to live here! A cold breeze sends chills down your spine. You sigh as you think of your home. The alley ends in a dead end, forcing you to reconsider your path. Black clouds torment the sky, as a drizzle begins. The only obvious exit is west. An old beggar Azkur enters. (-HP:75-EP:187-)SG Ok. (-HP:75-EP:187-)SG The beggar beckons you closer and starts to tell his story: One day, a few years back, a bunch of soldiers came to this village. These soldiers recruited all the men in the town to leave the village behind and fight in the war against the Enemy. However, some were not so cooperative. The few you see around this town are cowards refusing to go. It makes me sick to think about all the brave men who have left their families back here, and then to see the drunks stay home while the others sacrifice for the good of the land. Why, I would have gone, yet they would not accept me. I'm not as weak as you might think! Well, I just had to let you know about all the men in this village. Those who you see here are the cowards, all the rest have gone off to war like true brave men. The beggar thanks you for listening to his story and smiles. Beggar says: Oh, and since I can't help in the war, maybe you can use this. Beggar gives you a rusty key. (-HP:75-EP:187-)SG Shadows and darkness surround you in this run-down part of town.

You open the front door of this house and gingerly step into it. Floorboards creak loudly as you inspect this small home. A small fireplace sits at one end, cold and empty, filled with ashes.
