Ruin

The land of Ruin is a brutal, harsh, and unforgiving desert with little water and less kindness. Don't mistake its brutality for lack of life though. Thousands of traders and people from all walks of life travel its vast reaches looking to make their fortune in the trade of "black crystal" - the mineral that fuels airships, landships, and is even used as currency.

Jim is just such a trader and frankly, he's not very good at it. Jim's fortunes may soon change, and he knows as well as any, Ruin gives few second chances.
