There Lives are for the Crows

Listen to the last remnants of a once powerful desert kingdom, Modeg, ruled by the High King, fall to ruin and lose everything he holds dear in the blink of an eye. In the hot yellow barren lands, it is governed by a King that knows all the secrets of old magic, a good husband to his lovely wife, and treats his subjects well. On this day, a beautiful market festival was being held in the city citadel. All is merry, and the nobility desire to be gay, drinking, gambling, bouting, dancing, eating, and otherwise enjoying a good time in the muddling music during a bright pink sunset. But what the High King does not notice, so caught up in the laugh of his wife and the glamor of his people, a war to the West is brewing against the fiefdom that defies him for his ancient ways. And among the great ruckus, a rancid black beast of an army, storm his city. In a slow soothing voice, and a sad strain of piano, witness the final moments of an honest lord, losing everything he loves close.
