Having finally rediscovered some of the old Soil art, I was able to put a new site for it together. In the process, I updated some of the dialogue that had bothered me over the years, and touched up some of the worldbuilding elements (namely the ranks of nobility). I think it reads as a less confusing, tighter short story now. If it's your first time seeing it, I hope you enjoy it! And if it's not, I threw in a few essays and a whole bunch of design work in pages linked after the story.
