“Dwellers of the Ancients, is all be seeking The Fallen atop? Well… be advised and turn back for to entertain he will not It's been far too long since mortals have come before our sight And above all, the coming of mortals is often the coming of blight Yet, curious I am to see what wisdom does all sow to seek?
