A man finds a dead body with a note in his hand. It just says a single word Which I haven't decided what it will be. Said man knows that the word is actually the name of a city that is fairly far away. He sets off with the body and decides to bury him in that place. Immediately as he steps out another man approaches him and decides to accompany him.

So they set off into the world and do shit loads of things with no apparent drive or motivation for anything they do. I'm thinking of setting it in the ancient Mesopotamia when the Neo-Babylonian's were in power. I need to research more about that area though.
