The peak of the Mesa is surprisingly flat, at it's center there's a ring of circles made by rocks sitting in the center of the rocks is a deity statue. A statue of the people's God. In it's hand sits a bowl that is filled with water. In it's other hand is another bowl but this one of fruit and bread. Overlooking the sides are stone ledges and a small alcove to the right.

I live in a very old village on the bad side of the country. The villagers are nice where I live but we get a bad reputation. The forest behind my village is known to have magical creatures in it. I know the villagers are not allowed in the forest but we want to explore and find something new.
Who is speaking? I was sent by my village. Our little town has a bad reputation and I am supposed to give an offering to the old god to fix this. The villagers of your community see me as their god, a god. They come here to pray and praise the great glories they are given. Will this do? We are not very rich.. It is not riches that I look for, but how willing you are to commiting to changing the way things are. You can give your purse to the deity and that will be used to keep this area pristine! I see. What will you do for my village, o' wise god? I will travel to seek out the communities that see your reputation as bad. I will bring them together so that they may see what they are perceiving may be wrong in the eyes of God! In turn you and your community will change any behaviors that may have given others this bad perception. I will do my best to spread your kind words around, my god. Tell me, may I refill my canteen from that bowl over there? Do you understand what the symbol is of the two bowls? It is equality. If you take from the bowl, you must replace in the bowl. I think I understand. But, you see, villagers where I come from are not supposed to wander this far out past the woods. If I drink some water, I might not be allowed to come back to refill the bowl. You need to be more thoughtful. If it is worth coming this far, you need to be prepared to fulfill what you take. What can you leave here that you will miss and want to come back to retrieve? You must speak with your community and let them know that the travel to here is well worth the outcome. I will leave these sandals here. They were my father's, and I will miss them dearly. I am just... so... thirsty. The water that you take will be replenished! You are a good member of your community!
