“This way, instead, they can unleash their spells on a doomed land and even if the cursed artifacts’ destruction causes long-lasting damage, no one would notice the difference.

“Quite the contrary, it would help Zima’s Council to decimate the monsters and the resulting barren lands would bring no nourishment to those who escaped the conflagration. Where spells fail, hunger will deal the finishing blow.”
