Readying for Ragnarok
3.2 Mile run today in the woods outside of town. Snow+uneven ground+sore legs from yesterday=suck.
I'm thinking if I get a pair of Yak Trax (a shoe accessory for added traction), I might give this a try with the weight vest on. We'll see. Tomorrow, going to shoot for three decks of cards and maybe, depending on how I feel, some jump rope.

The Midwest Desert is a dangerous place...
Sand lizards: Hulking reptiles, laying torpid in the baking sun until prey of any sort comes within their line of vision.
Giant crabs: Hidden just below the surface of the shifting sands, their eyestalks hidden among the harsh desert grasses.
Spike trees: Thin, leaning trees, dancing in the wind. Also covered in long, thin thorns that act as needles once they strike a animal. Then the tree begins pumping a fast acting paralysis toxin into the victim while sucking out vital fluids, leaving the animal a dessicated husk.
They are only a smattering of what dwells in the Midwest Desert. None of which are considered remotely as deadly as the Fire Clan. Think wild, fire worshiping mad men and women. They are a threat to all life in the desert, of which they lay claim to huge swathes of land that they patrol on jack rabbits, driven and kept happy by the tinkerers of the clan.
Cannibals. Savages. Fire scarred, chaos infused killers. And those are the nice things one could say about them...

The United States is a place of ruination. When the seas finally retreated the land and cities were decimated. The Midwest has turned to desert. What was the Mississippi River is now a great chasm dry, cutting into the earth. The entirety of the east coast is marsh or swamplands, haunted by wet-folk, vicious critters and swamp hags.
Florida is gone.
Michigan is an island protected by some sort of Elven mysticism.
New Mexico is claimed by Dwarfs, holding enclaves in ancient adobe cities.
No one's been far enough out west to know whats happened out there.
The great cities of the past are a series of massive ruins. The salt water took a great toll on everything it touched. Survivors of a kind have flocked to these cities though. Its all an illusion of safety though, the cities teem with things that creep and crawl just as much as the wildlands between them.
In many cases, those same survivors are just as much critter as they are human...
