Though the world still lay in ruins—desolate wastelands, where cities once stood, now void of life; slowly crumbling to dust veiled by the dark ashen skies. Scorched soil, buried the echoes of despair from the conflict as mountains of rotting corpses, rusting artillery, and ruined landscapes now only stood as haunting monuments of the past conflict.
