Shabby, torn fabric, stained by weeks of travel and bleached from the harsh sun. Long, thin sticks held the fabric up so it formed a triangle with the earth. The sticks were buried deep within the shifting orange sand to hold off the blistering wind.

I'm just a guy. I work at the saw mill every day. I'm a good villager.
Hello, Is there anything you would like me to build for you today? Build me? Are you a soldier in the King's Army? I work at the saw mill yonder but I like to build things when I'm not working to make some extra money. Well then, what can you do to make my troops more comfortable out here. This tent is not sufficient. This is my home sir. I'm sorry for the confusion. puts home back together Have you nothing of use to offer the king's army? I will only settle for your best work.  Yes, of coarse. How about I begin with tents for every solder made of thick canvas. it is sturdy and tough. I hope you have more suitable materials than I see here. Although, your shelter does seem to hold up well against the wind. Here let me put my home back together, again. Yes, I could use metal from the saw mill to hold the canvas in place. Nothing like you see here. Okay then. Say, would you be interested in joining my army? You have the makings of a fine soldier. It would be a dream come true! Anything to get out of this shabbv torn home of mine! Perfect. I shall make a fine warrior out of you. Let's start your training immediately. I am a tough, but fair, leader.
