The Mayor of Perias
It was a weekend afternoon when Abel looked around Perias. His aim was to understand how the capital's waste disposal system worked.
"Ugh! It smells crazy. Why on earth did you come to a place like this?" Cordell McNeill fanned himself with a very unpleasant expression, but that didn't make the stench go away. Everywhere Abel looked, there was trash overflowing.
That wasn't all. The clogged waterways were filled with half-rotten material, and the streets were littered with mines.
"Oh, what kind of landmine is this in a fantasy world?" Abel thought to himself.
'It could be livestock or human feces,' he reasoned.
If you went to the countryside, things were relatively better. Because there was less waste to deal with, it could be taken farther away for disposal.
However, the capital was the most densely populated place in the empire. Moreover, there was no waste disposal system at all.
