The Boast of White Eye
The “Boast of White Eye”, as it is called by the magi of Setheria Isle, was found by the Magus Oahkill when a quest led him to the Ice Isles of northern Findor, some one hundred years ago. His written account of the journey contains the following passage. He first saw the sign of a simple spell, and investigated. His eldritch sight deciphered secret wizard-writing sorcerously scrawled across an iced-over engraving of the royal family of dwarves who had built the towers here so long ago.
I have slumbered through millennia
waited at the bottom of the sea
and passed through astral voids
undreamed of
while the spires of sons
rose upon the dust of their fathers
through your ages of heat and sun
until I was naught but the last spark
of cold in the dark
but now the cycle turns again
and the new age of ice has begun
and yes again
shall my glacial weight
scour all the faces of the world
clean and white, free as bones
of the flesh of your race’s delight
the waning sun
marks my counting
with flares and gutters
until my reign
freezes time
I am the white eye
I shall consume life
