Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cinerarium" data-source="post: 844246" data-attributes="member: 9349">Hammer 2, Harren, Continued The following is culled from the Black Bishop's Compendium – A Recounting of the Fading Away.  The author was supposedly one of Bane's priests prior to the Age of Darkness, but that has never been substantiated.  Unfortunately, this book is in poor shape – partially burned, torn, and covered with an old fungus that the Oghmites have endeavored to remove only somewhat successfully. Finally, there is one snippet recorded by a monk of Ilmater in his Memoirs, though his name or heritage remain a mystery. The first reference from the History of the Ages details the coming of the Twin Evils to settle the war between the gods.  The second reference from the Black Bishop’s Compendium (I am chilled just recalling that foul libram) reveals the creation of the Drimm, born from the Primus’s tears along with the oceans of the world.  The Compendium also mentions something occurring in the next age; I can only assume this references the age following the Age of Heroes – the Age of Darkness.  What the Key is, who drank the wyvern’s poison, etc. I cannot tell.  Most interesting to me is the reference in the Memoirs of the Ilmater monk, who refers to Six harbingers of doom who slumber still… which leads me to believe that perhaps my original translation of the obelisk runes, referring to six sacrifices to “seal his slumber” may have not been far from the mark, after all.  I think I must learn more Epalian at the first opportunity.  Part of my research in the library today was in Epalian, completely unrelated to the rest of the research on its face, but I hope it will provide clues nonetheless.For now, dear journal, I lay you to rest until later this evening, and retire for supper with my strange friends of the last tenday.</blockquote>
