War of the Runes of Doom
...
Thus it was, and the great Cities of Gold and the Beautiful cities of
Jade became ash and all the lands from the bit to the left of the
Reference key even unto the silly little islands to the west was laid
waste. The fighting waxed fierce around the fertile valleys of the
land of a thousand rivers and the land of 500 rivers slightly to the
south, and even the rather nice forests around the bitter sea of Soth
while leaving untouched all the crappy bits around the edges that
no-one wanted. Great battles were fought at the Crying shore where
the flower of Athanasian manhood was cut down, and in the Courts of
the perfumed city of Goat, where it is said the fountains ran red with
blood. Many great deeds of courage and valour were done, too numerous
and frankly too tedious to mention by name, but suffice to say
courageous were they, aye and valorous too. After the Jade Primate
had fallen, cast from the topmost tower of his church, by the
rebellious mercenaries of kHu kHulla and the greatest City of the
Golden Land, Malatha of the Million Lanterns was overthrown and it's
mighty walls made dust, and all the armies were reduced to a few
pitiful bands of ragged hungry men, the petty kings and chiefs of the
crappy lands round the edges that no-one wanted siezed their chance
and descended on the ravished land like wolves upon something smaller
than wolves conquering the fair lands in the middle, and setting up
their barbarous courts in the ruins of great halls and once proud
palaces. The half human soldiers of these Barbarian princes roamed the
land at will on their great war lizards, exacting tribute and
demanding back rubs from defenceless villagers. Thus the people of the
fair lands, although by now somewhat shagged out by all this fighting
were forced once more to take up swords against the invaders.
