<blockquote>
Let me tell thee about Gods.
There is Uher, Gods-father
Giver of life and High Magisters
The latter, most are less happy about.
There’s Tyeus, the warrior priest
Whom the Lorians love.
Luthos, the fool
The patron of vagabonds, and luck.
Allegedly.
Naossis the Red.
Neither male nor female
Goddess of whores and pleasure
Much loved by all.
And Ora, the Silent
Bringer of the Fading Light
Only loved by Assassins and his Silent Servants.
These are the Five
Whom most people pray to
II.
For there are more
those of the Old Realms.
The Old Gods of the Zilan, the Gish
and the Folk
Like Abrakas, the Abhorrent
Whom sailors still keep in their minds.
Nesande,
Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.
Holder of Magic and forbidden practices,
Now lost to us all.
And Eodrass,
The Wyvern God
Whom no man alive,
knows anything about.

‘War is a slothful beast
Slow to awaken,
Difficult to understand.
Once it does though,
It has a mind of its own,
And cannot be stopped.’

I can’t name the road, nor speak of the sea,
Shades have no tongue,
and all dead sound alike;
