Storyline of the Dimozian Sands Collection
Dimozia had once been a mighty desert city in the Southern Sands, before the space debris hit. Less than a fifth of the population escaped as the city was levelled and consumed by fire. The bombardment also disrupted the water supply, making their barren homeland even harder to survive in.
In the aftermath of this disaster, two different factions emerged. The Blessed believed the Great Burning was a sign that they should live in harmony with the desert, working in tandem with nature from now on. They leaned into old traditions, reviving the ancient art of Beast Taming which uses the young larva of the mighty Dust Stalkers to locate water sources. The adults are then used for transportation and protection, revered as sacred beasts. Adeleka leads the spiritual faction, with Kasiya the Beast Tamer as her second.
The other faction to survive were The Engineers led by The Commission. They decided to survive in the desert by conquering it through their technology. They live underground in habitation domes, and are never seen outside of their sealed vehicles or their pressure suits whenever they’re on the sandy surface. For them, harvesting and maintaining water is essential, and their core of Well Divers are greatly respected. The Well Divers excavate and maintain the Wells, protecting the Well Heads from any threat.
For decades, there was conflict between these two factions, as they disagreed on how to live in the desert and how to manage the water supplies. Skirmishes broke out every now and then, until one day, The Blessed and The Engineers mysteriously reunited their peoples. An outside influence seemed to have brought them together, and they now work diligently to rebuild the once great city of Dimozia.
Beasts alongside machines as one race, technology and the spiritual united. What caused this change or why they are now rebuilding after so many decades, no-one knows. The rest of the world can only watch as this strange shift occurs in the Southern Sands.
