The Whisper-Mad Tome of The Nameless One: Part 1


"Sally forth we and shall we be fourth to sally," I growled, "Find the Painted Egg we must for Morte hides truth to be cracked open, yolk spilling a thousand thoughts that shall become the nectars of the Lethe."





Barbed with the sigils of two moons Dak'kon takes the art most peculiar, smiling a whispered grin greenly. "Thus spaketh Monnizerth and his four truths."

I slip into the warm waters and slide the razor cross my wrist.

Torment. Pain. Torment. Pain. Torment. Pain.

Whip the shade-streets with four tails and over the fifth star we go. The path is cobbled with a thousand of the third fever-nights where delirium springs hot and moist from the skulls of the Lost Ones.
