5	Set in a desert kingdom, Kazan is the story of the sole survivor of a clan of nomads who seeks revenge on a water demon who killed his people and stole his childhood friend. Oddly, while he survived he hasn't physically changed since the encounter and is still physically [[OlderThanTheyLook eight years old]], which is an odd contrast to his personality. He meets up with Fawna, a strange girl who can create water from her hands and agrees to escort her on a journey. The rest of the story is a bit murky, but suffice it to say, not everything is as it appears.
