[QUOTE="Steampunkette, post: 8343312, member: 6796468"] [I]The Tempest laid his curse upon the lands between Imba and Achelb... Where once great winds and torrential rains swept through, periodically, drenching the arid grasslands with life-giving waters, re-awakening the great watering holes of the savannahs, and renewing the cisterns and small lakes of the various cities, there... No rains came. In the first year there were thousands of dead. And the animals of the plains suffered and fled if they could. Soon, the people would follow as the sands came in terrible storms. Lakes and rivers became as mud, and people choked upon the sandstorms and haboobs that spread the desert ever more quickly. Those who could tried to hold out, shoveling paths free, unburying small buildings. But as the water vanished, eastward they wended toward the great Cobra. Leaving behind their homes, their temples, their businesses, entire towns conquered by the indefatigable sands. Consumed by them. Even the great Temple Cities and Pyramids were abandoned to the encroaching wasteland, and the priesthood flagellated themselves for their failures, or were put to death by the Pharoah for the same. Even the vibrant grasslands of Musarra, once green from river to river, dried and cracked and died. Sending the Kyran horselords East and North ahead of the sandstorms, ahead of the spreading curse... Yet the rains still came to fill the Cobra to bursting, to flood along and over the riverbanks. And it became the blessed lands from tail to head. And the capital itself was moved to Il'sha-ah in the north, at the Cobra's hood. The Curses of the Gods have taken much from us all... but none so deeply as the Tempest Curse.[/I] -The Chronicler- [/QUOTE]
