“These fields no longer yield grain the way they used to,” laments the farmer. “We should explore new lands before our food runs out. Why not start cultivating olives, like our neighbors?” The cart-driver nods wisely. “Ever since those city folks began to worship San Giorgio, I find myself traveling farther and farther to reach new building sites. I'm on my way now to the new inn they just constructed. I’ll change horses there and deliver this load,” he gestures toward the pile of wood in his cart, “to the sea beyond. Rumor has it we’ll soon conquer those olive-farmers, but their land is just as polluted as ours.” The farmer nods in agreement. As the cart creaks away, he resumes harvesting the last bushels of grain, nestled among the stumps of what was once a lush forest—three rounds ago.
