"Iseda, what are you doing out here?" His mother was clearly upset. Isada could hear it in her voice and feel it in the strength of her grip on his arm. But, stepping outside Paragon's gates hadn't been his idea. It had been his father's.
"Papa brought me." He looked into his mother's eyes, not blinking, so she would know he wasn't lying. In them he saw fear and anger. Turning, he looked to the madman he once called "Father" standing out in the desert, arms stretched to the sky as black clouds churned overhead. Arcs of lightning leaped from cloud to cloud, anxious to lay waste to the sand below.
His father's words rose over the dunes and thunder. "Awaken ancient ones! Rise and take what is rightfully yours! Yes! Come! Take my son and I to be your servants!"
Clutching him close, Iseda's mother began to run, dragging him with her and stomping over the sand castle he had built only moments before.
"Run, Iseda! Run!" He could hear the fright in his mother's voice as she continued her flight. And then, she tripped, and both he and his mother tumbled in the sand. He lifted his head to look back where his mother had fallen and gasped. The clouds were taking shape; a demonic face rolled out of the clouds, opening its maw as it rushed toward the ground. Before Iseda could make a move, it swallowed his father whole.
Seeing this, his mother, still sprawled in the sand, turned back to her son. "Run, Iseda! Now! Back to the gates!" As the clouds roared behind her, Iseda turned from his mother and began running.

Premise:
Castles Made of Sand is a 1st Edition Exalted game focusing on the South and the many forces that threaten its extinction.
Game System Information:
Exalted is a game of heroic and villainous demi-gods putting their fingerprint on their world by channeling Essence–an energy that flows through everything and binds it together. Using this energy, the Exalted can achieve jaw-dropping and unbelievable feats. Because of this, the game ranges from nail-biting social conflict to pulse-driving movie-like combat scenes. So grab your daiklave and head into a universe of Titans, Exalts, and Men.
Further information for Exalted can be found at White-Wolf's website.
