	== ~~Contributor's~~ ~~Note~~ ==		== Behind the Scenes ==
			This is a now archaic document that was released in late 1993 or early 1994 as part of the background material for [[The Broken Lands]]. This poem is used with an [[Iruaric]] glossary to solve the puzzle to enter the Dark Shrine. These are the modern names of the Dark Gods, but the original used the [[ICE age\|I.C.E. Age]] names for them. The way some of the Dark Gods are described is [[ICE gods\|unusual]] and would not be considered consistent with canon in [[Shadow World]]. Its meaning is studied in depth in [[Research:The Broken Lands]]. The poem itself seems to be from later in the [[Wars of Dominion]] than the [[Uthex Kathiasas]] events.

	<i>(Written by GM Kygar as backstory for [[The Broken Lands]] in 1994. The poem is used with an [[Iruaric]] glossary to solve the puzzle to enter the Dark Shrine. The [[ICE age\|ICE Age]] names of the Dark Gods from the original have been modernized, but this is actually '''archaic''' information that does not apply to modern game. The phrase "silent repose" from the Orgiana (Eorgina) stanza is used in the burial chamber of the cultists, and possibly alludes to the "silent waiting" of the "sleeping queen" Kadaena in a poem from the [[Black Hel\|theocracy]] of Orgiana which is also referenced in the crypt of the [[The Graveyard\|Graveyard]].

	Several of these descriptions were written to be theologically unusual relative to the [[ICE gods#Lornon\|source book]] information for the Dark Gods. The poem also alludes to conditions that did not exist until a few centuries after the Broken Lands were sealed off. It implies the shrine is authentic, the same stanza appearing in two separate times and places, and possibly was actually used by Morgu (Marlu) himself. However, it might also be regarded as telling with respect to [[Kadaena]] as [[The Dark Path#Behind the Scenes\|"the Shadow"]], in allusion to [http://www.hplovecraft.com/writings/texts/fiction/sot.aspx "The Shadow Out of Time"] by Lovecraft. This is subtly conflating Orgiana with Empress Kadaena. - [[Xorus Kul'shin\|Xorus]]' player)</i>
