lyrics

South Percell is a small community located on the western edge of the world. It's inhabitants are under the cruel thumb of a sadistic ruler as a result of an unprovoked invasion 16 years ago.

The neighboring militant city of Marisek once enjoyed peace with the quaint farmlands of South Percell, but when the kind leader of Marisek passed away after losing a long battle with an illness, his only daughter assumed leadership. The princess-turned-leader did not inherit any good qualities from her father, and soon after murdering her frail mother she turned the once aspirant city of Marisek into a dominating force of warfare.

The princess assumed the pseudonym "Maven", and decided to enact her vengeance on the nearby town of Percell. On a cold winter afternoon, she marched her army right through the meager walls and demanded leadership. After killing all who stood to oppose her, the Maven had her laborers build onto the town of Percell to begin the manufacturing of weaponry. Her plans had no sympathy for the houses of the families that lie in the way of her building schematics, and where promptly destroyed.

After construction was complete, all of the remaining inhabitants were evicted from their homes and made to stay in a crudely built copse of shoddy homes south of Percell's walls while the rich citizens of Marisek claimed their old domains.

The inhabitants of North Percell enjoy a gaudy life of wine and money at the expense of the suffering inhabitants of South Percell. No members of South Percell may leave of their own free will, nor enter the gates of North Percell unless they buy their freedom. Unfortunately, work is hard and scarce, and the infantry of North Percell find sport in robbing their meager earnings.

The Maven, who ironically stole her moniker from a female mace and shield wielding hero of local folklore, is not only an accomplished fighter with her spiked cudgel and Red Skull-shaped Bulwark, but has inherited her father's ability to control the local weather. As a testament of complete domination over South Percell, the Maven keeps enchanted storm clouds over the slums, eternally drenching the bodies and spirits of the people within with cold, unrelenting rain.

The desperate, poor citizens of South Percell have all but given up hope that a savior will come and relieve them of their never-ending torment.
