Temple of Darkness Poem

Eorgina, Mother of Darkness
Repose in silent waiting,
With revanche to come.

Ivas, Sweet Seductress
Fair skin, alluring eyes
Dance, Inis, dance.

Fash'lo'nae, Master of Glyphs
Magic in a word,
The power of form and shape.

Andelas, Feral Feline Lord
Beguiling trickster,
Triumphant through stealth.

V'Tull, Vengeful Warrior
Strike the blow,
Fell the foe.

Sheru, Cloaked in Darkness
Eternal night,
And sleepless dreams

Mularos, The Lover
Narrow line,
'Tween pain and pleasure.

Luukos, Soul-taker
Gory blood-feast
Devour my enemy's soul.

Onar, Dark Assassin
Patient vengeance,
Righteous retribution.

Amasalen, Dark Watcher
Grim reaper,
Gathering the tares.

Marlu, Cruel Master
Guard the Dark Queen,
Spirit born of death.

Zelia, Keeper of the Moon
Fair charioteer,
We watch for your return.

translated from an inscription found in the ruins of The Temple of Darkness


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)
