"Wulwur looked out upon the fields where his tenants stood, despairing
their wilted crop. There would again be no harvest this year. The
Valanian had noticed the shrines fallen into disrepair, many of the stones had
been removed to repair fences and chimneys. They had sowed Kandlan's reward
in the past and now would feel his wrath."
