Words were a powerful thing. The right words could raise armies or shatter souls. Words conveyed ideas and could transform a stumbling fool into an unprecedented scholar. Words, however, were ultimately limited.
Sometimes, there were no words to apply to a situation or sequence of events that could truly convey the reality of it.

Something he could view mostly as natural disasters without end but he had been incredibly underestimating things.
The Ruined Islands were not just powerful natural forces unleashed without end but unnatural forces as well!
