"The region known as the Burn occupies a special place in Garlean history. Every child in the Empire is familiar with the tale: In the distant past, it was a verdant land teeming with life, but successive summonings saw it bled dry of aether and reduced to a desert. It was upon beholding the devastation that primals had wrought, that Emperor Solus was spurred to embark upon his crusade against their kind."
This is one of the themes that I always make sure to try and get the orchestrion roll for. That and it also reminds me of The Burn (Savage). Little Sun.
