As The Vortex Illumines The Crystalline Walls Of Kor-avul-t Lyrics

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.

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
