[quote]The Black Sarcophagus held an ancient and world-ending [evil], a long slumbering and hateful nemesis to Life, and opening the coffin unsealed it back into the world once again; however, with it came magic, flowing through every living thing on the planet - revitalizing nature, changing animal life irrevocably, and altering the course of history forever.

Egypt was lost to the [evil] immediately, Alexandria, in which its sarcophagus was opened, succumbing instantly to a dense swarm of flesh-eating locusts and scarabs that poured forth, [the evil] itself cruelly massacring those who hid or fled before flying to Giza and delving into the great pyramids to seize its artifacts. With its full might, [the evil] annihilated Cairo effortlessly and marched [an army] down the Nile to conquer the rest of the country.

In the years following, most of the African continent would also fall under [the evil's] rule, only small pockets of resistance remaining, while much of Europe and Asia's combined military might formed a border at Isreal that grew steadily more fortified as it continued to hold off [the evil's] forces.[/quote]
