Lessons from Dun Fortress

Written by: Cleric Axios Aristata, of the Black Cathedral
Date: Friday, May 23rd, 2025
Addressed to: Everyone



Witness now clear testament
To the role that Mhaldor plays
When watching massing power in Dun
Grown through faith in recent days

Ne'er before did an ogre rival
The great, the one, Balam Agab
Baron, Wizard, Visionary
Whose people were in Hardship garbed

Eastern curses, slings and arrows
Are turned aside by fortitude
Kin bored to sleep by Caefir preaching
Priests' logic weak, their manner rude

Now Dun by slumber unencumbered
Armed with truths to seven numbered
Awakes, advances, lies are sundered
And orc-song hails Malevolent wonders

As other faiths are set aside
Balam secures his legacy
Evil shows the path to Strength
Lord Sartan guides those brave to see

And should gill-breathers meddle there
Persistent interlopers be
Rivers of blood will flow anon
Their contribution to the Sea


Penned by my hand on the 20th of Miraman, in the year 976 AF.
