Ashqabad is the City of Love. It's the place in your imagination where you go when you love something. No soul-mud can enter the city: only good feelings, kind deeds and loving wishes. The city has powerful defenders, but lately, we lovers have fallen on hard times. Never has love been more under threat than it is now. So fourteen friends are meeting in the city, to tell stories and party the night away. That's how Ashqabadis fight. Are you one of them?
