Lord of the Oasis

Bags of salt, spices, and sugar piled up from the shops onto the streets, with merchants rushing back and forth in loaded horse-drawn carriages. The air was filled with the rich aroma of various spices. This was a prosperous city beside an oasis, with the sounds of hammering and looms echoing endlessly, and the workshops of artisans were bustling with business.The banner of Baron Kander, heir to the Kingdom of Swadia, flew above the city gate. The local residents lived a happy life, filled with love and reverence for their lord. On the city walls were soldiers with crossbows on guard, and on the streets, infantry in chainmail armor patrolled, a picture of peace and stability.
