Introduction[]

A distant oasis and dancing shadows in the moonlight... Gradually they fade before the autumn wind until the wounded traveler stumbles into an ancient city, where the memories deep within slowly return. A map in the poplar tree's hollow, the banquet tent, exquisite handicrafts, and residents longing for the oasis... Everything seems so familiar. What role will this unfortunate amnesiac play in this desert banquet?
