Lowlands

The low land is a rough area where hard-working folk make a living by the sweat of their brow. 
Under constant threat of storm and flood, communities here rally together to build dikes that keep the rising water ay bay. 
But every citizen constructing a dike is one fewer citizen tending flocks and maintaining the family farm. 
The residents here are constantly torn between selflessness and self-interest, and only those who can strike this delicate balance can thrive in this harsh landscape.
