the lands of Tears, Sorrows and Peace.

Ash fell from the sky, as it did almost every day. The surrounding lands and kingdoms were in constant wars and the wind carried the debris to the shores where many lost and helpless people went to live. This is where Minerva used to live. She was a maid to the masters of Agros, who owned the lands she and everyone else lived. Most of the others that lived on the land with Minerva were workers too. The rest were the police and the masters themselves. The workers and police were under the rule of Master Hearn,  a mysterious man who was 6 feet and 9 inches,  black hair and dark brown eyes that were always almost covered by the hat he wore,  and Master Aringer,  who was a lively old man with white hair and keen blue eyes with a big belly. Argos was 159 miles long and 185 miles wide. 10 miles from the border of the land of Argos were different cities and camps belonging to bandit warlords. Most of the cities had dirt roads with many deep wells and little trees and were surrounded by huge stone walls. They had to have many deep wells for there was only one lake for 100 miles. That lake, lake límni tis zoís  was owned by the most powerful bandit warlord. It was surrounded by Fertile soil and luscious, diverse plants and trees and diverse, exotic animals. From its center it was 100 miles long on either side and 100 miles wide on either side.  

Many different people ruled the country. There were 100 warlords, 100 bandits, 200 master's or kýrios, and 30 bandit warlords. There were a few kings here and there but were mostly rare. Those who ruled the land were constantly at each other’s throat. They would kill each other’s subjects. The only 2 groups of people who were left alone were those who lived in Argos, For they never fought for any sides they stayed neutral, and the a group called the white grim, for they were feared by everyone, they were the most powerful bandits ever. They started out as just a group of rebels but grew into much more than that. 

Argos was filled with many things and the masters were kind and fair. They had schools, playgrounds, zoos and aquariums built for the kids and teens. There was a library, a hospital, a butcher shop, a farmers market, a craft store, a Trenchmart, a Trenchblue Pharmacy, a Bored Horse Stables, produce farms, livestock farms, and a bakery. Which were for the slaves on the land. Agros was surrounded by a huge red brick wall that had five gates to the outside world. The gates were open during the day with a guard on post; at night the gate was locked tight with two guards on the outside for the incoming traffic which was very rare. The people were contempt living in Agros, not one thought of the outside world on one's mind. Most who gained their freedom stayed. Some left in search of their family’s. Some left to explore the outside world.
