Title: a tome entitled, 'The K'tinga River Valley after the Great Wars'

You begin reading from the tome:

'By the beginning of the Reign of Dentin, the K'tinga River Valley  looked
much as it does today.  The destructive magiks of the Great  Wars had altered
the land and changed the local weather patterns.   What was once ocean were
now salt flats.  Savanna had turned to  desert, and forest to savanna.
Rainfall from the mountains, however,  ensured that the K'tin Lake caldera
was now teeming with life.   Outlying tributaries of the K'tinga River had
dried up, but the  river was fed by headwaters in the K'tin Lake and flowed
to the sea.

The region was severely depopulated. The Forces of Darkness had been  swept
from the land.  The Quelese were little more than a small,  wandering tribe. 
Murlocks, sensitive to the high concentrations of  magic that had been used
during the wars, had been severely mutated.   The mountains were populated
with goblins, trolls, ogres, and orcs,  but these former allies of the Evil
Ones began to quarrel among  themselves and swiftly degenerated into the
barbarians that they are  now.
