What of Haven?
230906 What happened to Haven and all the people living there? Did the Church actually give on its ideological need to destroy the little nation? Did they thrive and change the world? Haven had a lot of things going for it, primarily stemming from its existence as a mostly self-sufficient communist state. The people of Haven had better lives than almost everyone else in the New World, and…

The Church gives up
230826 Almost everyone in Haven and its surrounds recovered from the ordeal with the two Church armies, though a few more of the Sand Crawlers died of their injuries over the coming months. The influx of servant soldiers created problems. Not entirely the problems that that Consideration had investigated, but still some problems. There weren’t enough houses throughout Haven and its surrounds to…

On the issue of raids
230722 That was the next problem to spring up, as Haven grew and expanded. It bordered on the Church and Ovek, and the area around Haven had historically been a hunting ground for slavers working for those two nations. Plus, it was used often as punishment, to send out workers and slaves to quarry stone in the blazing heat. As Haven established some territorial boundaries, and more of the…

In her absences, the people of Haven kept on pushing against the old and…

More growth
230717 The Sand Crawler’s hideout couldn’t take nearly as many people as Haven could. It had only been built to the dimensions it needed to be. It fit the number of people who were there, not the number of people the founders had hoped could come, like Haven. So when ten people arrived with Ryoko, Tengu and Ora, it was a problem. Jules was willing to take them in, though, along with the…

Loving bandits
230717 The Sand Crawlers were bandits, no two ways about it. They weren’t as bad as some of the people you’d find in the desert around Haven. They weren’t as good as some of them, either. Still, over a year ago they had met a strange woman in a bird mask by the name of Tengu. Tengu had been wandering the desert, looking for something to do or someone to kill, and stumbled across the hideout. Or…

230713 Ora became a fixture in Haven much more quickly than Tengu had. Though people were less likely to remember her name as much as think of her as ‘that girl who follows Tengu around’. No one cared enough to spread rumours. But it was an easy guess, what was going on. From time to time, along with the sounds of blacksmithing, sounds like fighting emanated from Tengu’s house. Ora followed…
