[Legends etched into the ancient stone dolmens on the Dark Moors...]

|
[THE ORACLE OF WAR:]
|
The crows will pick your bones clean...
|
Never sweet the kiss of cold steel.
|
|
THE EXULTATION OF BATTLE...
|
|
[THE WARRIOR:]
|
Blades aflame with witch-fire burning,
|
Bright swords blessed by nine king's blood,
|
The elf-witch weaves war-spells upon us,
|
Neath the wolf-moon's gaze we shall slake our steel!
|
|
[THE WARRIOR:]</i> Battle Magic empowers my thews!
|
[THE ORACLE OF WAR:]</i> The crows will pick your bones clean...
|
[THE WARRIOR:]</i> Red-Tooth thirsts to smite and slaughter!
|
[THE ORACLE OF WAR:]</i> Never sweet the kiss of cold steel...
|
|
[THE SHAMAN'S DECREE:]
|
Born beneath the thrice-cursed cromlech (destined for deeds of greatness),
|
Three stars aligned to assauge thine newborn cries, Foretold, the hilt of
|
Red-Tooth awaits thine hand (kingdoms shall fall before thee!), And in the
|
Nine Scrolls thine death prophesized.
|
|
[THE WARRIOR:]
|
The clarion of battle beckons me... Red-Tooth crackles with searing spectral
|
energy. Aye, emperors and kings shall perish beneath my blade! The head of the
|
Eastern Chieftan adorns my spear... I've a throne to usurp! INTO THE THICK OF
|
THE FRAY!
|
|
[THE SHAMAN'S DECREE:]
|
This heart that pounds like a hammer,
|
This heart that pounds so strong,
|
This heart that pumps a great warrior's blood,
|
This heart will pound for half as long.
|
|
[THE WARRIOR'S VOW:]
|
By all the gods... I swear the ireful edge of dwarf-forged steel shall meet
|
all who dare stand against me! My destiny awaits... I shall carve my path in
|
carnage, and inscribe my saga upon the scrolls of legendry in the spilled
|
blood of slaughtered kings!
|
|
[THE ORACLE OF WAR:]</i> Carnage! And the crows shall feast upon the eyes of the
|
slain!
|
|
The final dolmen of the Dark Moors is mysteriously missing, believed removed
|
thousands of years ago by troll war-bands as a trophy of battle...
