														   Kor-Avul-Thaa... finest jewel in
the crown of a realm of sublime glory,

greatest city in the Middle Kingdoms, mayhap
all the world... Its splendid

walls of
shimmering crystal could be seen from a hundred
leagues distant,

kissed by the golden rays
of the sun, or caressed by the ethereal fingers
of a

midnight moon. Its magnificent spires
and citadels, built by generations of

kings
from the resplendent gifts hewn from the ancient
bosom of the sacred

Crystal Mountains, had
oft' times been the bitter envy of rival
emperors, and

many were the sieges which
Kor-Avul-Thaa had withstood and repulsed over
the

centuries, for powerful sorcerers did
weave great spells of protection about

the
dazzling towers, and none may have passed
unbidden through the vast

sapphir ean gates
of mighty Kor-Avul-Thaa...



From the
Journals of Sage Daelun



[The Oracle
of Kor-Avul-Thaa:]

The sky rent asunder...
black-winged devils surge forth from the
void...

A maelstrom of crimson fire burns
above us... what carnage has thou wrought?

Not sword, ballistae, nor burning brand

Could e'er these walls aspire to breach,

Yet now the city's fall is nigh,

As
elder rites black fiends unleash.



High Lord of the Brotherhood of Dark
Elucidation (Keepers of the

Forbidden Books
of the First Cataclysm): By Klatrymadon and
Zuranthus, such

ancient secrets we
discovered within these sinistrous, worm-worn
pages,

Etched with darksome glyphs and
sigils, bound with fearsome spells, An

eldritch tide of stygian sorceries unfettered
by the forbidden Tome of

Shadows...



Now thunderous cataclysm befalls the
gleaming Kor-Avul-Thaa (The mystic

gate
stands open!) The Xytaxehedron held to the
stars... the incantation

uttered with eager
ton
