In every land and within every nation, barren fields lie pock-marked by the ravages of past conflict. Deep furrows tell of the deployment of mighty war machines, rough mounds and hillocks hint at the hastily dug graves of the fallen, and broken blades and rusted armour clog the topsoil, breaking ploughshares and laming cattle. Indeed, wherever a wanderer travels, the skulls of the fallen litter the ground beneath their feet, telling tales of forgotten wars, both large and small.
