Jaisy /JAY-ZEE/ and Trason /TRAY-SON/ are "Sifters", a profession not for the weak of heart, or those with even a slither of strength in their wealth. Residing in the land of Irradia, they sift and rake through an area known as "The Muck". The sludge that makes up this area is farmed for what all understand to be its "rich minerals". However, for those who do the dirty work, it serves as a chance to find oddities, to sell for some coin that could feed them for a week or a lifetime, though this comes with a cost. People lose their minds or their lives in certain parts of The Muck. Collectors avoid these areas, unless they have no choice or are led astray.
