How it begins

It hasn't rained in your village for almost three years. You are young, not quite a man, carrying nothing. You've decided to climb to the top of Feather Mountain to the east, where the rain used to come from, and find out what's causing the drought.

You begin outside Melda's house, the only building in the village unaffected by the lack of rain. Melda claims to have magical powers and the only person with the power to end the drought, if only the mayor will give in to her demands.
