Lands of Ostriches and Grain
Prologue
It truly is amazing what humanity can accomplish, giving rise to great civilisations even on the most marginal of lands.
The deserts and plains of southern Africa were harsh lands. Though they were lands of contrasts, while they might appear brutal and desolate on the outside, life was in abundance if you knew where to look.
If one studied the lands closely, they would notice that people and animals have survived, and even thrived on this land for generations.
The San people had made the lands their home, and in return the lands had revealed all of their riches to them.
The San survived on the unaltered landscape for thousands of years, hunting and gathering, living off what the land had provided to them.
Only several thousands years ago did the San begin to transform southern Africa into an even richer land. Transforming it into a land supporting millions of inhabitants, and giving rise to some of the greatest cities humanity has ever seen.
This will be the story of the rich San civilisation and all of their achievements, and these lands are the lands of ostriches and grain.
