  ##_The Lone Wastes_ 
  _A treacherous and unforgiving land. The heat is harsh, fertile land is rare and hotly contested, and water a greater commodity than any bit of shiny coin nowadays._
  
  _You are one of the few able bodied peoples who get the solemn duty of traversing the Lone Wastes on the Open Road. Your mission is the delivery of vital goods and trading materials between the far-reaching colonies._
  
  _It is a dangerous task; caravan riders hold their fair share of bravery and insanity. The untamed paths of the Open Road possess many deadly obstacles, more than capable of jeopardizing a shipment._ 
  
  _Bandits. Sandstorms. And hulking creatures befitting nightmares._
  
  _Only with tenacity, teamwork, and a healthy share of dumb luck will your caravan have a chance at reaching its destination._
  
  _And your coveted payout..._
