Under the desert sun

It's been 5,000 years since the rains returned to the desert wastes of Taraz...

No one knows why the rains came back, but they brought a group of people, the Qán, with them.

And possibly something more... something darker... that leads some to question if the rains came back or were *forced* back.

Rumors swirl, people go missing, and we begin and end in Kazgar, the main port city of Taraz where everything will come together.
