--

These were not good times, friends.

The world was covered with ash and dust as often as it was covered with ice and snow.

A man walked in from the gray wastes, a land of ruins and fear, monuments to the times before. He walked and walked, his boots crunching in the dirt and ash.

His dog padded next to him.
