Fantasy (Untitled) Sec 3

You probably imagine that this is the point in my narrative where I tell you of the horrors that befell my people under the rule of a cruel and evil king. You are wrong. Under Etal, the Ouay have not suffered great tragedy or hardship. At first things passed as they always had.
The first thing Etal did was tear down the great castle at Binnen. While many were outraged, the destruction had little effect on our lives. The effect it did have was decidedly positive. Many laborers were well paid to destroy the castle, and when Etal decided to build a new castle at Matin many more laborers were employed there. Stone cutters, masons, and carpenters all were given work. There was prosperity among the working class in Matin that they had not known before. For the rest of the Ouay, life changed very little.
