1
Spears agleam in the dying sun,
2
The blood is spilled, the battle's won,
3
From the icy throne of God-King shall rule,
4
When nine stars kiss the moon o'er Ultima Thule.
5
[Old Northlander war-song, found in the ancient scrolls of Volmyr]
6
The Final Part of Voryn Helmsmiter's Journey to the Ice Realm: Blood
7
drips from my frost-encased sword, forming a crimson blossom upon the ice...
8
My limbs cold, becoming as one with the massing snows... my eyes nearly frozen
9
closed. For how long had we travelled? The memory grows dim, lost in the
10
cruel, searing storm-winds. And now, at last... our quest is at an end. With
11
the blessings of the elders we began our journey beyond the great veil of
12
shadowed glaciers... They spoke of a prophecy foretold, an ancient and
13
glorious legacy, A quest for the realm of legendry lost to man since before
14
even the Star-Lords descended... Now, only I survive, my blood spilling to the
15
ice, turning to crimson crystal upon the deeply frozen earth. Elder sorcery
16
crackles and hums all about me, coursing through the sky, the snow... As grim
17
destiny approaches with the freezing boreal gales and this ancient prophecy
18
unfolds...
19
[Predication of the Elders:]
20
Go, follow the witch-lights in the northern night sky, beyond the great
21
silvern mountains... Let the sacred moon-crystal be your guide, beware the
22
sentinels at the Caverns of Eternal Mist...
23
Spears agleam in the dying sun,
24
The blood is spilled, the battle's won,
25
From the icy throne of God-King shall rule,
26
When nine stars kiss the moon o'er Ultima Thule.
27
Swathed in moon-frosts, in icy winds our blazon flying,
28
Iron gleaming 'neath the stars, black skies ablaze with astral fire,
29
White wolves (like silent spirits) haunt us, ever northwards, the ice-gem
30
leads us, glimmering,
31
Powerful spells entwine the shrine of legendry, mighty gates of frozen
32
splendour looming,
33
When the moon and stars shine as one upon the snows, the ancient ice-gate
34
opens, the prophecy is fulfilled!
35
Towering, ice-encrusted forms lumber forth from the freezing mist,
36
(Their eyes shimmering with a fiendish, eldritch malevolance...)
37
Our steel is raised against their weapons of gleaming crystal,
38
And the virgin snow is rendered crimson by bloodshed in a searing storm of
39
slaughter.
40
(Wounded, dying, my flesh rent by weapons no human ever forged or wielded, I
41
am beckoned forward by a strange, alluring force from beyond the veil of
42
swirling mists...)
43
Shadows, images form in the glittering rune-carved walls of this glacial
44
chamber,
45
Secrets frozen within the timeless vaults of eternity...
46
The throne of the time-lost ice realm, entwined in the mantle of such searing
47
star-born power...
48
This frozen, aeon-cloaked seat of immortal majesty... (of an empire forged
49
long before the vast seas rose in devouring fury!)
50
What shimmering swords raised in combat once sang with the glorious clamour
51
of steel on steel?
52
What splendid banners, billowing in the icy gales, once heralded the march
53
of these invincible silverclad legions to the blood-swathed embrace of epic
54
battle?
55
The glory of untold thousands of years past... this ethereal legacy of
56
mighty Ultima Thule.
57
The frozen eyes of immortal kings watch me... such a dark splendour!
58
The Guardian of Ice and Shadow:
59
The grim Ice-Gods sleep in these frost-bound tombs, illumined by the caress
60
of lunar fire,
61
And the kiss of star-gleam from the stygian void...
62
All is now as was foretold in prophecy, written in the very ether of empyreal
63
eternity...
64
The celestial alignment is night... the conjunction is at hand!
65
And nine stars illumine the northern heavens, a vast cosmic sigil with the
66
silvern moon at its centre...
67
Blazing argent light fills the chamber, engulfing the hewn walls of elder ice,
68
These ancient carvings in a time-veiled tongue, (etched into the primeval ice
69
countless aeons ago, now bathed in diaphonous incandescence by this storm of
70
lucent stellar power, their mindsearing meaning at last becomes known to me...)
71
their cosmic secrets unfold...
72
The ice-throne is encased by a shimmering wall of writhing cerulean flame,
73
A lambent flame far colder than the frozen surface upon which it dances...
74
And then, enlightenment comes, gleaming down upon my consciousness as the
75
bright moon gazes down upon this auroral vista... From my mind is lifted an
76
obscuring veil, a veil induced by sorcerous arts, and I realize I have been
77
merely a vassal of another's twisted will, a pawn in a game which is entwined
78
in treachery and malign aspirations to thresholds of great power. Such a
79
traitorous web has been spun! The elders of my kingdom bow in obeisance to the
80
vile priests of Xothan'kur, and it is their diseased machinations which have
81
urged me here, to the very heart of the far-fabled ice realm... for they seek
82
to usurp the power of the Conjunction, stealing the vast energies of the
83
Ice-Veiled throne and absorbing them into their own leprous, undead bodies, pe
84
rpetuating the adoration of their abhorrent liege for countless ages,
85
liberating his vile will and enslaving the realms of the world... Aye, for
86
generations they have plotted their actions, and I was the key to this plot,
87
chosen from birth for this fated journey... for the blood of the ancient kings
88
of Ultima Thule runs strong in my veins, and only once in every aeon may one
89
such as I stand before the throne during the great cosmic alignment, when the
90
sorceries of the ancient Ice-Gods are at their peak, and rightfully wield this
91
power unleashed... And yet I vow that the vile minions of Xothan'kur shall not
92
prevail... Liberating the fettered power of the moon-crystal, I sever the
93
tendrils of their dark conjurings, and their aspirations are at an end, th
94
eir spells broken by the very power which they sought to usurp! The final
95
vestiges of mortal life flee my body in crimson gouts, and at last I realize
96
what the fates have spun for me, and what is carved in the very ice all about
97
me... My destiny is at ha nd...
98
[The Herald of Enlightenment:]
99
And so, enrob'd by tendrils of starfire and the raiments of lunar mist,
100
The immortal liege whose sceptred empire is eternity,
101
Sits enthroned and brooding over his dark realm once more.
102
The last of my life's blood spills to the ice, (as star-wrought destiny is at
103
last fulfilled.)
104
Swathed in freezing flame...
105
The mystic wolves of the frost-moon (slowly, silently) encircle me,
106
Their eyes are blazing azure, and their fur is whiter than the sublime snows.
107
Such power! I am the Chosen... the secrets of the earth and the stars are
108
unlocked before me...
109
I am destined to reign forever... to reign from the Ice-Veiled Throne of
110
Ultima Thule!
