EPONA

Years ago, you recieved a charter from the United Empire, and were officially made a member of the newly christened Trade Company! Your goal was to seek fortune wherever it may be found in this strange land...of course, through force of arms, if the natives failed to cooperate.

But now things are different. You no longer work for the Empire, but for your homeland of Al-Andalus -- and to a lesser extent, the people you've come to associate here in Jambudvipa. Your food-guns at the ready, you are prepared to make a fortune and take a slice of these lands for your country -- or even yourself.

You walk in the light of the Devas, the natural spirits of this land. You are a friend to them, praying at their shrines and donating for their upkeep, always paying them the proper respects they deserve.

Your job now is to spread their light across all Jambudvipa, and to bring an everlasting peace beneath their rule!

The Shrine of the Earth is dedicated to the deva POUSAN, and is appropriately the crossroads between the network of shrines dedicated to the various Devas that have recently returned to Jambudvipa.

The reconstruction and restoration of the network and shrines, as well as the patronage of POUSAN is symbolized by a statue of a blue horse trampling a leopard on a raised platform in the shrine's center.

Attendants to the shrine hurry about, going about their various rituals.

To the SOUTH is the village of MEERUT.
To the EAST is the SHRINE OF THE SEA.
To the WEST is the SHRINE OF FIRE.
To the NORTH is the SHRINE OF THE SKY.

Oh! The food-guns are back!

[ who cares about that

HE'S SO

JEALOUS. ]

Who the hell is 'Pousan'?!

A real diva, according to this game!

[???????]

[Who cares about your butthurt]

I'm the only real spirit here!!

[ HUMPH!!!!! ]

This is stupid.

Well, duh, it's a game.....

Are you really that eager to get evil Echoes to name their characters after you?

...No... but--

[ but. BUT.

LOOK AT THIS SHRINE. ]

...whatever. We've gotta pick a direction.

It's probably full of cursed gold or something!

[Gosh, stop whining]

Why don't we go to the village?

Yeah, let's move away from the shrines since he's so sensitive about them.

Whatever!

You are in Meerut, the principal village of the area -- and now, the headquarters of the brewing revolution. Of course, you'd never be able to tell just from looking -- the village life continues as normal, villagers living their lives and tending to their livestock and cultivating their plants.

Things have advanced quite a bit in the years since landfall -- the people of Meerut even now have electricity thanks to a group of heroes, symbolized by a statue of a garishly bright green boar in the village's plaza.

To the NORTH is the SHRINE OF THE EARTH.
To the SOUTHEAST is some jungle.
In the EAST of Meerut, there is a hut of a HEALER that you are acquainted with.
