The wind howled. Its lonely lament was joined, for the longest time, only by the snapping of pennant flags in its relentless grip. Plumes of smoke covered the sky, and clouds of dust billowed across the ground and the carnage that lay bare over it. The fields had only hours ago been green and lush.

The city of IldCarr had been taken.
