As you wake up in your hard bed and your sweat-drenched linen nightshirt, you know it's going to be another stuffy, parched, difficult day - the same as all the days of these past two summer months.
Your village, located in the middle of the Sichuan province, has slowly eaten through its reserves and resources as it waited for the spring rain to help the crops grow. As the rain stayed painfully absent, the sun beat down on your lands and whatever had managed to grow shrivelled in the heat. The small river that would usually provide your family and friends with fresh water has become a thick, muddy current.
If nothing happens, your community will not survive.
You sit up in your bed and massage your thoughts back into place. As you look around the tiny square house, your eyes fall on your belongings. Your master brought you these yesterday, when you completed your training, and you couldn't be prouder.

If you completed the training to become a Shaman, go to Appendix 3.
