The sun hammers down on the desert kingdom you rule, a land where queens hold the scepter and power flows through matriarchal lines. Days ago, a hunter from the wild frontiers presented you with a stag of shimmering gold before melting back into the dunes. Now, at the oasis lake's edge, you find him again. Rashid, muscular and aloof, sits on a sun-baked rock, his fingers moving with practiced grace over a slender flute. He senses your approach, the melody cutting off abruptly as he turns his dark, impassive eyes toward you.
