Sorcerers and shamans, weave your spells of war, Ensure our mighty sword-arms are the strongest and the quickest. Entwine us with great battle magic 'til we stand knee-deep in gore, And by all the gods, we'll ride to where the fray rages the thickest! The war...

[The Oracle of Logres:] It was a time of change. The descendants of the Atlantean mages had fallen before the New Praesidium, and the wolves were baying at the Empire's door. An oppressive new faith was encroaching from the east, and the sylvan liege had lock...

All witches fly to me... I have torn the veil of dreams, Enraptured by (the gleam of) moon-frost's caress, My heart is held in icy thrall, The horned moon's sweet enchantment, The Topaz Throne is beckoning, The jewelled sword awaits my grasp, The dream...

Ancient cromlech carved of ice, Etched against a glimmering sky, Beneath the pale moonlight, the witch enthralling, (like the sublime) scent of black lotus, Ahiling a black sun with ebon rays, Hailing a black moon as onyx agleam, The dark horn sounds 'cr...
