Some warlords operate on Veni, vedi, vici. The Harukh'ai approached the Elven settlements with, Veni, vidi, ruinam reliqui in mind.

All soaking in greasy water that had, somehow, become stagnant. Taslanae knew that it had all been clean and orderly when she left for the village before dawn. Mere hours ago.
