The Moonskull Verses Canto 36
Hundreds of years ago,
the kingdoms had perished.
New life sprang from their deaths
and with great order
and cooperation,
Linomnount was divided
into five countries
whose borders were set
by region and resources.
The most potent of humanity’s traits,
presumption and hope
and the belief that
now is forever,
allowed each country
to produce one industry
to the exclusion of others
at the new peril of
our days after the Apocalypse.
Treelin brought lumber.
Herder tended livestock.
Delving sought minerals and metals.
Fieldlin farmed crops.
Craftlin created objects
and developed the future.
New food was only
wrought by Fieldlin and Herder
and so the people of Craftlin
faced hunger now.
