Stephen nodded, and then Grace giggled to herself, "That wasn't by accident. That is my homeland, or at least, where I spent my entire human life. My tribe was a mobile one, as are most in the sandy desert, with scarce resources. Our tribe name was 'Abs and we inherited a small portion of central Arabia. Since the tribe of 'Abs was so small, we had to rely on powerful alliances to stem our larger neighbors from gobbling up the territory."

"It was a hard living out in the desert, as you might imagine. Water and food were usually scarce, forcing us to move around constantly in search of those two essential items. Since our tribe was so small, the amount of land we could traverse in search of those was very limited. Trespassing on another tribe's land was considered a death sentence."

"We made a living as best we could. With our tribe, nomadic herding was a major profession of the group. We also made quite the living off the various caravans who needed help passing through the sandy wastes of the desert. It wasn't much, but we survived."
