[hometext] => ...destruction, greed and lust...
[bodytext] => White towers in the distance, once upon a time ago, banners whipping in the wind, the drawl-bridge hanging low. Feasts, and balls, and festivals, where lots of people gathered 'round, and shouting, laughing and singing too, were always a present sound. Lots of normal people, going 'bout there simple ways, each living their lives, day after day. The sun settles into the hills, the men sit down for their evening rum, Children are put to bed, Then sound the drums... Panic hits, like an icy blade, screams are heard, as all light fades. Women being raped, in the streets, abandoned children, sit and weep. Houses torched, people killed, the streets a red river, filled with all the blood spilled. A kingdom destroyed, leaving only ashes and dust, another sad victim, of greed and lust.
