Psalms for a Frozen World

the elves say our world was green once

The dwarves tell of times when it was warmer

But now only the rivers of smokeless fire are warm

Caverns of green are maintained by elven magic

Constructed in stone by dwarven ingenuity

Humanit in its arrogance summoned Elder Elvils from beyond the stars

The hubris of man that they wer so beloved by the universe that they could do

No wrong and that the gods would protect them from thwir own stupidity

But in enacting such profane rites these children of the gods

Assumed too much and were left to their fate

Life and heat were sucked out by these Elder Evils

Until our world was cold and lifeless

But the Champions of Nature banded together to stop the desecration

Even as they were transformed into beast folk

And exterminated the remaining humans and their kin

To put an end to the madness

But the damage could not be undone

Our world in a perpetual age of ice

All due to the mad hubris of mankind

Remember these lessons well children of man

For the invaders are not dead but merely dreaming

Pray they never awaken from their death like slumber

It would doom us all
