The ignorant visitor would be hard pressed to believe
that the wide, flat plain stretching out majestically before them was the site
of more death than all the other bloody clashes of the war of succession put
together. Relics from the conflict would occasionally surface to be discovered
by children shirking their chores or young people trying to escape the watchful
eyes of their chaperones. Other battlefields had statues commemorating the
clash of arms, or the tombs of great warriors who fell in the blood-mud fields.
That wasn’t the case here. Everyone wanted to simply forget the great, red
horror.
