Black thorns choke a prison ruined A creature of root lurks at the gate It has eaten the sun, which shines no longer

A nut has fallen from its branch And landed upon mossy stone It looks eastward towards the open sea

Deep within the murky mire A single sprout grows on the stone pile An abandoned nest, with nothing steps

The reeds of a sunken ship rots As trade ships pass, heading north It shades a sapling of the Hist

In hollow echoes, past thundering roots Lies a Hist that has matured Deep within the winding cavern

Where sea meets swamp, below cliff's edge Behind Imperial stone coated in black An elder Hist sits in water cool

In the outskirts of a town without Hist An egg basket sits inside a stone nest Built by uncertain dryskin hands

Stone snake protects stone egg Between two pillars of our past follies To the west, the haj mota lurks

In a vault of withering roots Hidden behind towering stone The lizard sits, waiting

North of water bereft of life Roots lurk at the edge of the swamp In its belly, the walking lizard

Near the maw of void Walking roots have swallowed our kin Beneath the rumbling waterfall

A final season of death Lies within your final rooted foe Close enough to hear the whispering roots
