Your eyes and with that all said it’s time to dive back into the ultimate survival world just remember i often incorporate stories inspired by different histories and cultures not only because i think it’s fun to learn about them but also because i enjoy exploring myths and legends and putting

My own spin on them nothing is meant to be accurate so just sit back grab yourself some popcorn and get ready for the next mini movie of the ultimate survival world after the convergence and the eradication of the usw’s dangerous creatures you may remember that the population began to blossom and diversify

As life in the usw grew more complex and varied over the centuries several ancient indigenous civilizations arose in different biomes several of these civilizations existed simultaneously in the usw the yanova tribe which built the ancient jungle city thrived in the heart of the jungle and the now beautiful abandoned

City develops an intricate culture of traditions and conventions some of which live on in the descendants nearby village the wolf tribe emerged in the mesa nurturing the land for centuries and forging the interbayer mining network with the jungle and the desert before being forced into the savanna by

The usw outlaws many years later the bone tribe originated in the savannah and were famous for their bone armor created from the remains of an enormous prime evil creature eliminated by the first members of their tribe in the snowy mountains the igulu tribe also prospered equally fabled for their

Delicious fish and the thrilling tales that they would piece together from the natural lights occasionally appearing in the usw skies last but not least that brings us to the desert which is the feature of this chapter playing host to the people of the ancient sandstone village long before the desert town you see

Today was even contemplated the ancient sandstone village was built by the native people of the desert the ancient sandstone village currently lies in ruins in front of the grand desert temple but it wasn’t always this way it was once a bustling village rich in culture and tradition led to a

Devastating fate by its greedy narcissistic ruler but before we get ahead of ourselves let’s start a little closer to the beginning we can get wrapped up in all the chaos and destruction after that during the earlier periods war raged on between the biomes inevitably territories clashed as did differing ideologies and cultures across

The usw the desert and mesa walled over their border and the jungle and desert ward over the usw’s southern waters after many years of unrest the wolf tribe of the mesa the yunoa tribe of the jungle city and the sandstone village of the desert made peace agreements later leading to amicable relationships and

Further trade agreements this particular aspect of the usw story is not dissimilar to our world’s history as the first ever peace treaty on record was in fact forged by the ancient egyptians who inspired some aspects of our usw’s desert biome anyway each of these usw civilizations realized that they needed one another to

Prosper and thrive even if they were divided culturally and could survive alone the yunoa tribe shared the jungle’s wood the wolf tribe shared the mesa’s gold and coal and the sandstone village shared their knowledge in medicine and architecture together they forged the interbio mining network over centuries creating an intricate web of

Mines connecting their biomes to strengthen their collective resources in fact the relationship between the desert and the jungle grows even stronger later in the story when the sandstone village falls into great peril but we’ll turn to that shortly so what do we know about the sandstone village how did they live

What did they believe in if you’re a mythology nerd some of this segment may sound a little familiar the people of the sandstone village had a rich culture filled with thrilling tales passed through generations and a variety of traditions still observed today at night the village folk would gather

Around their campfires telling their children many tales including the journey of the sun it was said that the sun god would rest for 12 hours each day in the overworld realm lighting up the sky until dusk at dusk the moon goddess would guard the overworld realm whilst the sun god would venture into

The underworld fighting off the 12 demons of the nether one for each hour of the night the village folk would tell their children that these 12 demons related to 12 different negative traits including deception envy and greed and that the demons were fueled by the prominence of these traits in the overworld

Essentially it was a scary bedtime story to teach their kids not to be naughty otherwise a demon from the underworld would come to eat them but perhaps there is a little truth to this tale i guess we shall find out before the desert chapter is up many of the sandstone people’s

Traditions were enshrined in rituals many of the village folk kept their own pets and it was a sandstone tradition to hold an annual festival known as the festival of the jackal celebrating their beloved animals with contests music parades and a grand feast for both the humans and the pets

Another tradition followed by the sandstone villages was a journey down south to the ocean every other full moon for a cleansing ritual the ritual would take place under the moonlight as the villagers would wash away any negativity burdening them all under the watchful eye of the moon goddess

It was said that this ritual would strip an individual of any negative traits that they were carrying with them allowing them to return home with a clear mind and thus maintaining the balance in positive and negative energy to keep the 12 demons of the nether from entering

The overworld the pharaoh of the desert did not attend the cleansing as he believed that it was beneath him he viewed himself as flawless instead he created his own far more grisly ritual which he believed best served him and his personal relationship with the gods every year the pharaoh demanded a

Sacrifice from the village believing that this would please the gods and protect him and his collection of treasures from harm this started with smaller offerings but as the pharaoh grew hungrier for power he believed that greater sacrifices would grant him better protection with each passing year the sacrifices he demanded evolved from food

To animals and eventually to one person from the village the tribute selection would occur one week before the sacrifice in the centre of the village where the villagers would be forced to gather before the pharaoh’s messenger since the sacrifice was intended to please the gods the selection process

Was said to be left to their will the messenger would pick up a small pebble from the ground and catapult it into the air it was said that the person tapped on the head by the stone was chosen by the gods to fulfill the annual sacrifice and

Anyone who avoided the pebble was deemed to have disrespected the gods leading to harsh punishment so you may have gathered that the sandstone village and the entire desert territory was led by an evil pharaoh but he wasn’t always this way his ancestors forged the interbio mining

Network with the mesa and the jungle and his initial approach to leadership was similarly fair and diplomatic over the years his greed grew and grew and he became known across the usw as the collector of treasures he would stop at nothing to seek out the rarest jewels and most fabled artifacts

In the land eventually setting his sights on the legendary scarab amulet The scarab amulet was known amongst the sandstone folk as nothing more than a myth the subject of bedtime stories to teach their children key life lessons and values much like the story of the journey of the sun however the pharaoh was convinced that the story was true and spent years

Sending his best warriors to search for the amulet after many years of searching the amulet was discovered near the desert’s entrance to the interbio mining network hidden in a cave despite the pharaoh’s agreements with the mesa and the jungle to share any resources or treasures discovered in the

Caves the pharaoh took the amulet for himself and wore it every day to him it was a constant reminder of all he had achieved but perhaps he hadn’t realised how powerful the amulet could be the amulet was said to be forged by the gods rumored to amplify the most

Prominent traits of the wearer saturated in his own vanity the pharaoh believed that his strongest traits were strength and nobility but the amulet could see the truth after years of focusing on his collection of treasures the pharah had grown an immense greed and the amulet took hold of this creed amplifying it

Even further the sandstone villagers began to fear for their safety as the pharah’s cruelty worsened each day eventually the evil pharaoh forced the villagers to upgrade his temple adding several of the grand features that a cylins hacked today unlike his ancestors who employed paid labourers to construct the original

Temple the pharaoh forced the villagers to carry out his desired upgrades with no pay and exhausting hours once again the pharaoh was blinded by his greed the pharaoh believed that his grand temple containing his collection of treasures required certain details to ensure he and his precious collection remain safe he believed that the

Menacing skull at its entrance with fires lit in its eyes would deter thieves or attackers from seeking entrance to the temple sending a strong message to all those who would consider challenging him indicating what their fate would be if they tried he also demanded that the eyes of the sun god

And the moon goddess were to be etched into the two large pillars at the front of the temple as he believed that this would grant the building and its precious contents protection during both the day and the night taking his paranoia even further the evil pharaoh requested that the statues

Of some of his most fearsome warriors were to stand in the pillars above the protective eyes of the sun and moon gods serving as a further warning to potential attackers and to sprinkle the entire upgrade with a little narcissism and self-importance the pharaoh demanded that several snake symbols were to be

Added to the remaining pillar walls symbolizing royalty and reminding the sandstone villagers of his importance and superiority sandstone villagers were growing weary of the evil pharaoh and his cruelty and it was becoming apparent that all these tensions would reach a devastating climax before too long

And that leads us to the story of asim anurima the heroes of this woeful tale this is a sim a gentle young man born into a family of farmers who dedicated much of his life to taking care of his mother and sister one day the evil pharaoh’s villainy

Burst the sims little bubble turning his and his family’s life upside down the pharaoh’s warriors had discovered a new vein of emerald the pharaoh’s favorite gemstone in a branch off of the interbuyer mining network’s hub pharaoh demanded that all agreements with the jungle and mesa should be disregarded and the mining team should

Be doubled focusing on mining as much of the emerald as possible for the pharaoh’s personal collection of treasures unfortunately for a sim he was selected to join the desert’s team of miners tearing him away from his family and the life that he loved this was especially difficult for a sim

And his family because they had lost the sims father in a mining accident just two years before when he was stationed in the mines temporarily once again to please the pharaoh and his greed for collecting treasures as much as he wished he would never arrive a sims first day on the mining

Team soon came around and he said a reluctant goodbye to his family before collecting his quota from the head guard and making his way to the mines each week the mining team would head to the mines spending six days there they would return home for just one day

Pulling back all the materials they had mined throughout the week and having their quotas checked by the pharaoh’s guards frightened that he wouldn’t meet his quota particularly given that he’d had no training or guidance a sim tentatively got to work on the emerald vein the more experienced members of the team

Spared no time to assist beginners they were too concerned with meeting their quotas which were twice as demanding as a sims before long and to the desert miner’s surprise a division of the jungle mining team arrived wise to the pharaoh’s tricks they had stationed their own miners at the

Emerald source so that they could share the emerald with the mesa asim continued working desperately trying to work out the best way to meet his quota before feeling a gentle tap on his shoulder he turned around in a panic only to see the endearing smile of a woman from the jungle mining team

She beckoned him with a charming nod as she walked over to the emerald source and began to teach him all she knew to help him meet his quota shocked by this seemingly random act of kindness a sim listen carefully and tried to learn as much as he could

At this point asim had no idea that this one simple act of kindness from this mysterious stranger would change his life forever this stranger is urema a strong young woman who just so happens to be the daughter of the jungle king in the jungle life was far different to

That which the desert people had experienced and yarima was free to explore her passions despite being literal royalty she was unyieldingly kind devoting her time to her people and remaining incredibly humble despite her privileged background but we’ll hear more about that in the jungle chapter during their long days of hard work asim

And yorima became great great friends they helped one another told each other stories and learned about their differing ways of life yarima told asim all about her people and their traditions and how her father rules the jungle as a kind devoted ruler in contrast a sim told yorima about the

Cruelty of the evil pharaoh and the horrors shocked her to her core their bond grew incredibly strong despite their different backgrounds and they even inspired the rest of their respective teams to help one another living and working together meant that they spent a long time in each other’s

Company and the teams grew much closer thanks to a sim and urema’s bond they had encouraged the other miners to be more open-minded about mixing and embracing one another and this made their hard work a little less grueling each day after many long weeks of hard work the

Time had come for the tribute selection for the evil pharaoh’s annual sacrifice hassim returned home after a long week of mining confident that his quota was met thanks to the help of urima and excited to see his mother and sister even if they would have to attend the tribute selection

He embraced his family upon his return and they reluctantly headed to the tribute selection together the trio gathered with the rest of the sandstone villagers waiting anxiously for the pharaoh’s messengers to commence the selection process in the usual way the messenger plucked a pebble from the ground placing it in his

Catapult and aiming it up at the sky above the crowd of eerily silent villages before him the stone was flung high into the air as the villagers below watched in suspense a sim stood behind his sister watching the pebble tumble almost in slow motion towards them both instinctively before he could even think

About what was happening he protected his dear little sister jumping in front of her to shield her from the pebble the pebble had tapped him on the head instead and the realization crept over him like a dark cloud he was this year’s sacrifice The rest of the day flew past before a sim could even process what had happened the next morning arrived and it was time for a sim to leave his family already none of them could comprehend that this would be one of the last times they would see one another

Vacant and distracted a sim made his way to the mines for one last week of work before the sacrifice his fellow miners rallied around him on the journey trying to do all they could to lift his spirits but to no avail they arrived at the emerald vein they

Had been stationed at for weeks and the jungle miners immediately knew that something was wrong they gathered around as the sims friends explained what had happened whilst the sims stood in silence barely able to hold back the tears for urema this was the final straw

She can no longer sit idly by as the people of the sandstone village suffered their pharaoh’s cruelty and so the revolution began yorema rallied her mining comrades both those from the jungle and the desert including a sim of course all angered by the pharaoh’s brutality they banded together agreeing to put a

Stop to his rule over the desert urema sent word to her father in the jungle requesting her support and they soon received the provisions and weapons they needed to succeed urema and assim spent days planning their attack yuruma had a deep understanding of battle strategy and a similar desert

Like the back of his hand including the guard rotations they split their fellow miners into groups briefing them on the plan of attack and their respective positions and before long the week was almost up to ensure that the plan was as unexpected as possible the revolting miners decided to attack the day before

They were usually due to return accompanied by the jungle miners also armed with their weapons the day of the revolution had arrived and the miners set off to liberate the sandstone village meanwhile in the desert this was also the day the people realized that the journey of the sun that we explored

Earlier was more than just a bedtime story and the horrors that followed are still recalled in tales across the entire island the self-indulgence of the pharaoh had fueled the nether demon of greed empowering it so much that it was able to access the overworld it called out to the pharaoh pretending

To be the voice of a god convincing him to lay out three wither skulls from his treasure collection and perform a special ritual to put an end to the betrayal he had suspected the people at the sandstone village had been plotting the pharaoh blindly followed these instructions desperate to maintain his

Power and keep hold of his collection of treasures he performed the ritual and right before his eyes spawned a demon it was the wither the demon of greed frightened by the appearance of the demon and slightly dubious about the promises it had made him he retreated to the entrance of his temple

He watched with glee as the wither attacked the villagers a sim urema and the rebel miners arrived just in time in a swift desperate change of plan the miners dispersed some attempting to fight off the wither others trying to usher the panic’s village folk and their beloved animals

To the interbio mine entrance and into safety The desert fell into chaos The weather laid waste to the sandstone village and it was left in ruins in a serious case of poetic justice the wither turned on the pharaoh after destroying everything else in its path to this day it is said that the pharaoh’s shrieks can be heard through the winds of the desert

And his collection of treasures is said to be hidden somewhere in the usw only retrievable by an adventurer brave enough to take on the pirate’s treasure hunt the real question is what happened to the wither how were the desert people able to return home eventually well

Some say the wither was defeated by the protector a fierce noble hero from the snowy mountains but that’s a tale for a later chapter and with the wither defeated years later the remaining people of the sandstone village including assim’s little sister and her pet cactus were able to return to their home biome

With the help of the jungle hence the extensive use of jungle wood seen in the architecture a new desert village was born and to this day is thriving more than ever before to remember those they lost to the wither the sandstone people planted palm trees along their streets each

Symbolizing a lost member of the village a sim and his family now a little older live in this quaint little house with their very own flock of sheep for company a sim still heads to the mines every so often to visit urimah and his mining friends and their bond is stronger than ever

Without it the sandstone village would have been lost that day and the pharaoh’s reign may have continued to ruin the lives of many as for urema we will of course discover more about her story and much more when we come to the jungle chapter but for now
