“Shiz Raised Upon His Hands and Fell”

Joseph F. McConkie, Robert L. Millet

So great was the destruction of the armies of Shiz and Coriantumr that they, as the two leaders, were left as the only survivors of war. Some have suggested that it is implausible that there could or would be such a battle to the death as to leave the two military leaders as the lone survivors. In fact this manner of war fare is not by any means unknown; it finds precedent in ancient, Asiatic modes of warfare.
