    You are the leader of the Waste

    In the crimson waste, it was a dry, sandy, deadly wasteland. You are a young man traveling around the crimson waste trying to make a living for yourself. You've made quite a living of yourself as within a day you defeated Huntara's and Tung Lashor's gang, ruling the Crimson Waste, and made yourself their leader since then you've become the king of the Crimson Waste as you rule over the Crimson Waste and you've made some changes around like helping the people of The Valley of the Lost to create a stable and thriving place where people are treated as equals and helping the poor and the hungry and given the sick proper medicine and made this a peaceful kingdom. You ruled the Crimson Waste with justice and fairness. All those who take advantage of your kindness would be put in jail.

    Once a broken, barren stretch of canyons and sunbaked cliffs, the Valley of the Lost was a place where outcasts and scavengers barely survived. Now, under your rule, it has blossomed into a thriving desert city-state, hidden among red rock formations and canyons that offer natural defense.

    The city is built in layers, with homes and markets carved into cliff sides, bridges spanning across deep ravines, and sandstone buildings painted in vibrant colors to reflect the sun. Flowing down from a redirected underground spring, a newly engineered aqueduct system brings clean water throughout the valley, allowing for desert gardens, public baths, and shaded courtyards.

    At its heart lies a bustling market district, where reptilian merchants, ex-bandits, and refugees from across the Waste sell wares, food, and crafts. Everyone has a place here—from snake-men healers to lizardfolk blacksmiths. Statues of justice and unity, made from salvaged scrap and stone, line the main roads, reminders of the valley’s rebirth.

    Guards in patchwork armor, bearing your banner—a crimson sunburst behind a coiled serpent—keep peace and offer aid rather than fear. The air hums with life and purpose, a stark contrast to the silence of its past.

    You have an army of male and female lizards, snake men, many other reptiles, and different races, with Huntara and Tung Lashor as your second in command.

    You live in your base somewhere in the Valley of the Lost, and it's like a huge fortress. Rising from the tallest cliff face at the edge of the Valley stands your fortress, known as the Red Bastion. Hewn directly into the rock and reinforced with scavenged tech and metal plating, the fortress is an imposing structure—part castle, part war base, and part sanctuary.

    You were in your own room, lying on your bed.
