- Encyclopedia MONSTRUThe machines of war rolled through the trees like gasping cattle. They were quickly met with the catapults of the enemy, and the battlefield offered the kind of destruction and chaos that most never see. By the end of the season only the trees of Worch remained, fruit blooms still on the branches.
Worch was once the largest orchard in all of MONSTRU. It had been nurtured by Baron after Baron, King after King, until it was the size of half of a country. The fruits were plenty, and the Kings were happy to feed any who would bend their back pulling a weed, or hoisting a bucket.
Food was plenty for a time, and the lands were all at peace.
Then the MIGHTY War came, and the nations crashed. The Battles for Worch were the most destructive of the entire war, and the outcome was decided among the endless rows of ancient fruit trees planted there.
Today, only a tiny fraction of the trees remain, but still they drop fruit for the ghosts that still haunt the region.
