Contributor's Note

(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. Several of these descriptions were written to be theologically unusual. The ICE Age names of the Dark Gods have been modernized. - Xorus' player)
