Of Mana and Sulfur
The Sorcerer State of Hohkmat lay shrouded in an eerie darkness, as if the night itself clung desperately to the land, refusing to yield to the impending dawn. Just as the sun's first rays were expected to break through, a surreal event unfolded—the sky was instead veiled by plumes of ash, a somber curtain that sought to blot out the light.
Amidst this ash-laden atmosphere, Five ominous pillars rose defiantly, casting wicked flames of the fel that danced between them. The infernal glow lashed against the heavens, resembling malevolent waves crashing against an unseen shore. Each pillar stood as a testament to the arcane prowess that governed the state, channels of power drawing from the depths of forbidden knowledge.
In the macabre tableau below, crows gathered like dark omens, perching upon buildings and scaffolds with an unsettling presence as prowling black-cats litter the streets and lurk within shaded corners.
In the obscurity of the night, concealed within the square, A pentacle, etched with meticulous precision, manifested on the ground in a dark, scarlet substance. At the Five points of the pentacle, severed heads of different creatures were carefully arranged; a goat, a cat, a snake, a crow, and finally a bat.
Above the pentacle, an inscription in common tongue, weaving a dark narrative with every word:
“The Dark Star Rises; Five points to his star, Five fingers to HIS fist; Hail to the Arch Princes. The Black Lexicon is seized, the Wheel turns, and soon the first seal is broken. HAIL IBLEES; HAIL THE LORDS OF THE HIGH HELLS."
