A Land Fit For Heroes

God promised us this land: a gift for his servants.

When first we marched here, we marvelled at the waste. Such wealth of space and water! Our land is a desert, where thirst rules. This land would make a better home. Why should it not be ours? Others lived here before the Sea-lords came, and fought themselves, and left. Why is this theirs, not ours?

God is dead. A new king has come. He sends us home in chains, past the island that we took, down the river that we won. Our land is a desert, where thirst is king.
