#### **Content**

* The setting is medieval fantasy in a land that is mostly barren of human or creature activity.
* The backstory is that the surrounding tribes (which are both tribal and feudalistic) exile their criminals to the Desolate, leaving them to fare for themselves. Some criminals have started their own tribes within the Desolate.
	+ Additionally, the flora and fauna ecosystem in the Desolate has a personified will of its own, and seeks to take over the Desolate.

##### **Ilyanna Firepaw**

[...]All around men with big heavy pick axes swung high then low to hear the metallic clink of metal hitting rock. Slavers, all of them working towards a bite to eat and the few measly coins they'd get, to keep their families from the hard truth of Sonres Desolate. This land was not forgiving. Once you were in it, it owned you[...]

##### **Frag Hemsworth**

The main villain. Leader of the Yurks. He believes that he must gain influence over everyone in his civilization. They want the power of the ecosystem, he will get it for them. He has no solid beliefs, he believes whatever his people want him to believe.

##### **Iramid Hemsworth**

Frag's cousin and right-hand man. Secretly Frag's spymaster. Iramid always has some plot against Frag, but can never gain any traction when recruiting others to each scheme. The reason he is against Frag is because Iramid sees the true man behind Frag, and wants to keep peace throughout all lands. But his job requires him to go against that. Ironically, he performs his job loyally and efficiently.

##### **Solomon MacLaughlin**

A man seeking guidance through the Desolate, he tries to make a living to make ends meet. However, things changed when he was captured and sold as a slave. One day he manages to escape, he shaves half of his hair off and dyed his hair with whatever resources he had on him to make his appearance quite different. He never knew he would end up as a man on the run. To him this was only the beginning of a greater story for his life.
