What will be our next tale told
Hassan's War of Camels
For generations Hassan's Camels has been the premiere name in dromedaries in the Sands around Medinaat al-Salaam and even beyond. Passed from father to son it has been the traditional source for any camels the Sultanate needs. When the current Hassan passed, he left the business to his twin sons in the hopes it would bring them together. Unfortunately they utterly despise each other and their rivalry remains despite their father's attempt at reunification. They divided up the breeding stock and set up competing farms on different sides of the city. Now the time draws near for the Sultanate to order their camels and each brother is determined to see to it that they will be the one true Hassan's Camels.
