Winds of Time

Covert specialist Tarl Cray is on a mission to reunite his homeland. Specialized drugs introduced into his body enable him to transform his features into anyone he needs to imitate. After years of war and disease an outside force is threatening to invade taking advantage of the nations weakened condition. Traveling to the four different sections of the one time great country, Tarl must convince their leaders to unite against the threat. Only with the help of a unified nation can they hope to defeat the enemy. But is it as he has been told? Something else may be afoot. Traveling to the different sections of the one time nation, Tarl must make contact with the leaders. He must convince them either by coercion or more drastic means that the threat is real and the future depends on their cooperation. His breifing on each section went as follows: The Southeastern province, where Tarl is based, focuses mainly on technology and science. Creating new sciences both biological and mechanical they have set their future on the path to greatness. Peaceful and quiet the Northeastern section keep a trade route to the west. This peace comes at a price though. A military style police force control the streets and commerce. The Mid-Western section deals primarily with agriculture. This food commodity is more powerful than any weapon. However, there is a subversive influence at work here. The Far Western section is brutal. A feudal system of Kings and ministers mete out their brand of control. Beatings, torture, and food depravation are the order of the day. While the upper classes live the life of luxury the lower barely survive. Overall, Tarl has a daunting task ahead of him.
