Prince of Persia City
Upon the desert shore
Where ocean breeze meets heat
Sending sand along the street
Dunes forming in the corners
That go unnoticed
By the bustling crowds
Unburdened by their home
Stand upon the high towers
To watch the storms afar
Formless giants
Moving across the desert
Always threatening
To crash into the city walls
Yet no one fears their wrath
Contrary to the sight
Of smiling citizens and life
The desert is the harshest mistress
With creatures in the dunes
And hungry winds at every door
These people thrive
Against nature’s will
This is where a bulk of the action will take place. Tomorrow I’ll write more about this place that has only been mentioned until now.
Legends of Windemere 
Sounds like a pretty rough environment.

Outside of the city. Inside is fun and relaxing. The public water barrels are a nice touch.

Useful in the middle of the desert. Drinking only.

I worry about the double cup dip.

With free healing at temples and wandering cleaners, it’s probably more hygienic than our public water fountains. 😉

I was terrible at the originals, but I was pretty good at the PS2 ones. ‘Sands of TIme’ is still my favorite out of the trilogy. Do they still make games like that and ‘God of War’?

No idea. I guess I show my age now… 🙂
Ryse, Son of Rome was the last game I played in that style. It’s pretty good, although a tad repetitive.

Never made it to that system. Stopped at PS2 and Gamecube due to money. Rather my son have food and diapers than me having the latest system.

Actually, I bought it on Steam for my PC 🙂

I try to avoid PC games because I know it would kill my writing time. It would be too easy to get distracted. Happened all the time in college.

Very cool!!
You usually seem to have fun writing your books. How was this visit to Bor’Daruk especially entertaining or challenging for you?

It was fun, but delicate due to the storyline. I did stick to Grasdon Manor and . . . the other place. 🙂
