Residents of Gerudo Town when the desert starts undesert-ing, lasers are all over the place, ancient structures start rising from the aforementioned undesert-ed desert, and the ancient embodiment of all evil from their fairy tales turns out to be not so much of a fairytale.

My boss convinces billion and millionaires to house saguaros.. and create a strong ecosystem for countless wildlife.. he's an actual hero to me, breh
Like I can't even begin to explain how many people come to the desert and try to undesert it. It's enraging bc they throw off and kill so many opportunities for wildlife!
He's the reason over 1000 acres are essentially kept sacred.
Do u feel me or is this vision too tender?

"You called?" (@undeserted)
Kitten’s obviously distraught, like she’d throw a glass of ginger and vodka all over again if she had one. “Someone came up to me in the goddamned street claiming to be Emilio’s sister!” She flings her little arms wildly, then grabs her hair with both hands. 
A thought hits her like a train, one that makes her visibly wince, a thought so inhumanly complex and unpleasant that she banishes it instantly. 
One thing at a time. 
“A-AND SHE WANTED TO CALL ME ROSE! ROSE. LIKE A DAMNED...”
She stomps one foot and gestures wildly. 
“...GOLDEN GIRL! How far out is he? Where is he?!”
K would know, probably, after all the years he spent looking after the king that she's not upset with him, or being rough with him. She's just not used to dealing with highly emotional moments without Emilio at her side anymore.

Constantine created in 330
The marvellous city that Constantine created in 330 A.D. has been ever since that day the effective seat of such government as the Eastern regions around it could maintain, of such civilisation as they could evolve, and of such religious union as they were able to receive. That empire, that type of society, seem preparing to-day for an ultimate withdrawal into Asia. But with such a record of persistence and revival, such tenacity of hold on a sacred and imperial centre, few can forecast the issue with confidence. And that-future is assuredly amongst the most fascinating enigmas which can engage the meditations of thinking men.
It is an acute remark of the late Professor Freeman that the history of the empire is the history of the capital. The imperial, religious, legal, and commercial energy of the Eastern empire has always centred in Constantinople, by whomsoever held, in a way that can hardly be paralleled in European history. The Italian successors of Julius and Augustus for the most part spent their lives and carried on their government very largely, and at last almost wholly, away from Rome. Neither had the Western Emperors, nor the chiefs of the Holy Roman Empire, any permanent and continuous seat.
The history of England
The history of England and that of France are associated with many historic towns and many royal residences far from London and from Paris. Nor do the histories of Spain, Italy, or Germany, offer us any constant capital or any single centre of government, religion, law, commerce guided tour ephesus, and art. But of the nearly one hundred sovereigns of the Eastern empire, and of the twenty-eight Caliphs who have succeeded them in Byzantkim, during that long epoch of 1564 years, from the day of its foundation, Constantinople has been the uniform residence of the sovereign, except when on actual campaign in time of war or on some imperial progress; and in peace and in war under all dynasties, races, and creeds, it has never ceased to be the seat of official government, the supreme tribunal, and the metropolis of the religious system.
From the age of Theodosius down to the opening of the Crusades — a period of seven centuries — whilst Rome itself and every ancient city in Europe was stormed, sacked, burnt, more or less abandoned, and almost blotted out by a succession of invaders, Constantinople remained untouched, impregnable, never decayed, never abandoned — always the most populous, the most wealthy, the most cultivated, the most artistic city in Europe — always the seat of a great empire, the refuge of those who sought peace and protection for their culture or their wealth, a busy centre of a vast commerce, the one home of ancient art, the one school of ancient law and learning left undespoiled and undeserted. From the eighth century to the thirteenth a succession of travellers have described its size, wealth, and magnificence. In the middle of the twelfth century, the Jew Benjamin of Tudela, coming from Spain to Palestine, declares that ‘these riches and buildings are equalled nowhere in the world ’; ‘ that merchants resort thither from all parts of the world.’

Undesert is a post-capitalistic game in which the player participates in an effort to undesertify and restore parts of the world that were damaged during years of global warming, exploitation and greed.
Join a new spin on the farm-sim genre focused on environmental restoration, sustainable development, and scientific exploration through restoring the land, water, flora, fauna, and communities in the barren areas of the future world.
