Empty Land

Prologue

Prologue

Jul 04, 2020

Verozys.

In the most extensive desert region that the only known continent of Gaeath’s world could conceive, behind dunes and more dunes of innumerable hidden riches, the most famous commercial city - that the six governments had heard through their own inhabitant’s mouths - was carefully installed at the sands of Empty Land.

Despite the dry climate and very rare rains, the verozean society was, without a doubt, one of the most colorful and attractive ones.

Its citizens tended to spread charisma, sympathy, kindness, and many smiles towards others, however, even though their personalities became extremely captivating, their appearances called even more attention: they were tall, long, beautiful, and extravagant. They loved to wear many accessories, to walk with elegance, and to show off with some exotic makeup, especially those who were lucky enough to have the most unique horns born from their respective skulls. All had at least one pair adorning their scalp.

Nobody was like anyone else, and the unique air of that environment overflowed with the beauty of living from the gifts that the river of Empty Land had to offer.

Even with the intense heat, the culture of that city sheltered the most varied spices, cuisines, fabrics, and products that any nation could desire. Through this reputation, acceptance for the different things was stimulated and rewarded, which made it common for new businessmen and foreign customers to arrive. Because of this phenomenon, the verozean community had the title of the most heterogeneous city that history had managed to conceive.

Certainly, the verozean trade never ceased to be the greatest reference for other countries that would like to leverage their economic interests, and everyone - without exception - maintained healthy diplomatic relations with the verozean society because of its irrefutable importance to the continental market.

However, regardless of the countless wonders that the theory of the community employed, the reality always managed to be much worse.

It would be awesome to meet these Verozean but would probably suck to live in their city. Dx i don't do well in the heat.

In the most desolate desert lands that Gaeath's continent conceived, Empty Land's region came to harbor countless difficulties and punishments for anyone who would defy its name.

There, right in the heart of dunes and more dunes of infertility, a commercial city is beginning to rise from the old tyranny that ravaged its entire poor population.

Still suffering from the old habits of the old monarchy, Verozys continues to deal with several other threats that never ceased to exist on its darkest nights.

Meet Druko - a cold businessman - who, together with his brother Ruzorh, plans to change the violence's tide that keeps hindering their future of riches.

Amid circus festivals, family dramas, political intrigue, and a stir of unresolved mysteries, the protagonists try, at all costs, to unmask the real villains behind so many endless evils.

Let the paradigm shift begin.

[Warning: Contains scenes that some viewers may find disturbing.]
