Chickens dashed through the town, dogs barked, people talked and shouted from one end of town to the other. Most of the men were not visible, though there were few fields to say where the men were. Only a few visible guard posts had been seen as you approached the town, and these manned by youth and elders. Far in the distance, the Temple of Earth and Sky can just be seen across the River on the horizon and as the sun began to set the shadow of Earth and Sky would fall directly across the village at last light..<br/><br/><br/>Responses and attendance should be held at this location.<br/>https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=248156.0
