User blog:CorvusTheRed/Ravenholm Family Library

(This is where i'll be putting any lore-bulding things relating to Corvus, the Ravenholm family, and The Fade.)

Benjamin looked over the collection of item's he'd rummaged around the library for again, picking up each item in turn and writing down everything of note about it.

Item I
Collection of stone tablets, most of which were cleaved or ripped from the walls of the lowest floors of the ruins by looters who would later perish due to the many dangers within. So far, 13 tablets have been found. All of them are covered in writings and images, all in marble and all excrypted under several ciphers, as identified by Corvus.

[Addendum A  -  So far, all that's been translated of the writings is a few (disturbing) poems, or piossibly hymns, which are below. ~ Ben]

Tablet I
"Twisted spectre of scarlet flame,

The expanse of dream in past was split,

One realm now must stay apart,

Darkest reaches, beating red,

Terror of sleep. The Nightmare's Heart."

Poem accompanied by a simplistic diagram of a human's upper body, the heart is lined with ruby.

Tablet II
"A spark of red lights darkest dream,

Scarlet nightmares bright and wild,

Visions dance and flames do speak,

Burn the father, feed the child."

Discovered with this tablet (found in a robber's bag in the ruin) was a stone mask bearing resembalence to the mask Corvus once wore. Although, the two eyeholes were covered by glass that had been tinted red.

Tablet III
"Dance and die and live forever,

Silent voices shout and sing,

Stand before the Rift's dark heart,

Burn away the Nightmare King."

Below the writing was a drawing, what it was depicting is unknown.
