A huge mesa that climbs miles into the sky. It is composed of a rusty orange sandstone. Vultures are constantly seen swooping in and around the clouds that surround the mesa. It has steep cliffs that are nigh unclimbable.

I am a strong man. I work in the fields and pastures all day. I take of my master's sheep. One day I hope to have my own sheep.
Ah! I'm going to have to take out this scorpion to protect my masters sheep!  He will be proud that I have acted with bravery and may reward me for my efforts. If only I existed, I might care. But alas, scorpions can't hurt me. You may be a nobody but you're somebody, to someone somewhere!  I'm practically a no one now, if only I could own my own flock of sheep, that will be the day I will be somebody.  Hopefully all of my hard work will pay off one day. I don't know, but you seem to have power. You pulverized that scorpion. Perhaps you can serve the king as his exterminator. That scorpion didn't stand a chance against my sickle. I have been told that I am admired for my strength.  But, alas, my place is here in these pastures.  My heart belongs to these fields.  I will one day be a great herder and own my own flock!  Maybe the King will fancy buying wool from me though.  Perhaps he will. I saw some sheep yonder down the mesa that don't seem to be attended to. Perhaps they could start your flock. But again, I'm no one so don't mind me. I believe those may belong to the old man my master is in competition with.  He is getting quite old and often his flock wanders.  I hope that one day my master will leave me his flock, since he has no children of his own to leave inheritance to.  Perhaps you can get in his favor by performing well at your job, rather than slacking off chatting to someone who is no one. It gets quite lonely on this mesa, with only sheep to talk to.  Talking to anyone, even a no one, is better than no conversation at all. But, you're right, I must get back to work!  Don't feel bad. Everyone needs someone some time. Even a no one. Here, take these fish that I have just caught down by the river.  They will make a great dinner for you tonight, in repayment of your kindness and conversation today.  No one's need to eat too!  Thank you for your kindness. I'll watch the area for more scorpions for you.
