As the everhungry do break our shore,
Bloodless, ceaseless, dead reborn.
The ache to conquer in their maw.
Blessed are we with Father's Flame,
His watching light all but their bane.
The Wickede Dread, he gifts us too,
His own devout, a wicked tool.
Bestowed from the Mother, the only cure,
Warriors of lineage pure.
These princes birthed of light and dark.
Shall scourge this earth of this evil's mark.
- "The Scourge of Nightfall", as prophesied Sister Athabel,
Year 814 of the Holy Flame
