| THE WIZARDS OF VYRGOTHIA:
|
| Darkly bejewelled circlet of night,
|
| Crown of the Elder King,
|
| Unfettered at last the Trinity of Might,
|
| The sceptre, the sword, and the ring.
|
| THE SORCERER:
|
| I stand upon the oaken planks of this great ship,
|
| (the splendid flagship of the Imperium’s navies)
|
| Gazing at moon-gleam dancing on the vast, dark sea…
|
| (And in my mind I behold) black crystals gleaming…
|
| Ensorcellment! |
| I am enthralled by this nighted spell…
|
| For I know that the slumbering sorceries
|
| Of the Shadow-King's crown shall soon be reawakened…
|
| And as I return to my emperor
|
| (shackled to such woefully grim tidings),
|
| My spirit is borne upon the leathern wings of a great sorrow…
|
| CHAPTER 2: THE MARCH OF THE IMPERIUM
|
| THE EMPEROR:
|
| Call forth the Ogre-Mage of the Black Lake
|
| And the Swordmaster of Kyrman’ku,
|
| Let them speak the Words Which Unfetter…
|
| Enshrined for countless centuries,
|
| Within it’s darksome citadel,
|
| Five score and ten against the Tiger,
|
| (curse) the black crown of the Shadow-King!
|
| By all the dark gods, I swear I’ll not be dethroned!
|
| A seething forest of blackened blades,
|
| A churning sea of ebon war-chariots,
|
| A searing storm of flaming shafts,
|
| All this havoc and more shall I unleash against my foe…
|
| Into battle! |
| The Legion shall march…
|
| The fall of Gul-Kothoth is nigh!
|
| The Legion of the Ebon Tiger…
|
| Six thousand elite warriors of the Imperium,
|
| The pride of the Emperor’s forces…
|
| Bolstered by heavy cavalry,
|
| And a squadron of deadly scythed chariots…
|
| Further reinforced by the Imperial Frontier Army
|
| Of one hundred thousand highly trained spearmen and archers…
|
| And never has this force met it’s match in battle or siege…
|
| BAALTHUS VANE:
|
| Our banner flies ever glorious,
|
| Undefeated we stand, steeped in victory.
|
| The Iron Phalanx, six thousand strong,
|
| Our ever-honed blades, the Tiger’s gleaming claws.
|
| Pride of the Empire, Scourge of the Vraii,
|
| Masters at Turonium, and Kai-Vorg.
|
| Smiters of the Southern Host, Routers of the Horde,
|
| Bane of the Over-King, we march to war!
