The rains never stopped pouring through the campaign. Lightning speared the sky and thunder boomed loud enough to leave men stunned and shaken. The torrential rains turned the land into a quagmire of mud, and the heavily armored men of Morne could not withstand the fury. Obsidian arrows buried into them, piercing right through heavy plate as though they were not even wearing it. The children danced across tree branches, leaving no time for an organized retreat in most cases. Men drowned in their armor, suffocating as entire lines were subsumed by mudslides. | The rains never stopped pouring through the campaign.
