The game's starting map hides a disaster: just ten years after 1337 the Black Death reached Europe and killed perhaps a third to a half of its people.

Who acts: starting map, Black Death · What happens: hide, reach, kill · To what, where: disaster, Europe, third

This is a sentence of the lesson «Population and cities» of the geography course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (starting map, Black Death), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.
