[0;38;5;239man instrumental piece that establishes the[0m
[0;38;5;239mmood and themes, serving as prelude to the[0m
[0;38;5;239mevent.[0m

[0;1;37mSetting:[0m [0;38;5;239mthe Mhojave Desert[0m

[0;38;5;239mChaos Wards, Monoliths of the Apocalyptia,[0m

[0;38;5;196m*[0m

It rang in the black before time was time, resonant
silence wrought as a promise of purpose unyielding
and duty without end.

It was murmured in the fathomless depths of the
yawning abyss, where the bones of the world rest
upon shoulders of ancient stone.

Its words were turned loose upon those with ears to
listen and minds to comprehend.

And it was a song.

‘You shall learn to sing it’ spake the voice.

[0;38;5;196m*[0m

[0;1;37m(We call this foreshadowing)[0m

[0;38;5;196m*[0m

Following a recitation from the Apocalyptia, the Apostles
meet the Fabricators of the Deepest City on the shifting
dunes of the Mhojave desert. Here, they dance the Dance
of Sword and Spear, in accordance to the ways of old.

[0;1;31mBlood and bronzework steep the sands.[0m

[0;1;31mThe sand wyrms are called upon to devour.[0m

[0;38;5;196m*[0m

Recommendations for our Audience:

Remain clear of the Mhojave whenever possible.

Shows of solidarity in the form of [0;31mMay we never know peace[0m
or [0;31mKneel or be knelt[0m are encouraged and appreciated.

[0;1;37mINTERLUDE[0m

[0;1;37mCrown Jewel of the Dark[0m

[0;38;5;239mLava Daemons, not our stolen lava, Rocks,[0m
[0;38;5;239ma conductor from the[0m [0;1;37mTHEATRE OF SHADOWS[0m,
[0;38;5;239mas many Bards as we can muster.[0m

[0;38;5;196m*[0m

In deference to the Theatre of Shadows, the Bards of the
Empire meet with their presumed conductor in clandestine
fashion, entering first the lava tunnels beneath the city
and then the labryinthine network through which the Hlugna
absconded with our lava.

Utilising the tunnels as a natural amplifier, the unlikely
Chorus commences the Song of Oblivion such that it echoes
down, down, down into the dark.

This threnody for the damned cuts the threads of everyone
and everything within that hears it, inclusive of Qor
Qogol’s gate guard, the Chorus itself, and quite possible
subsections of Azdun.

[0;1;31mIt is a requiem for the damned,[0m

[0;1;31mslaughter so sublime.[0m

[0;38;5;196m*[0m

Recommendations for our Audience:

Riotous applause.

The extolling of [0;31mBravo[0m or [0;31mBrava[0m as appropriate.

[0;38;5;196m*[0m

[0;38;5;239mthe Amethyst Avengers.[0m

[0;38;5;196m*[0m

The Shil’tok are released into the tunnels.
Bloodloch marches upon the Deepest City in force.

[0;1;31mWe Conquer.[0m

[0;38;5;196m*[0m

Recommendations for our Audience:

Gratuitous shows of violence.

Acclaim of [0;31mStrength in Slaughter[0m or [0;31mThe Sun never[0m
[0;31mrises on His Empire.[0m
