The Book of Kur

I.
Commune with the Whispers; invoke the shadows' power.

let the guiding hand of those that Whisper reshape you into something of power.

Let it melt you down, Like an ancient metal,

recasting you into a great sword to smite those that oppose you

Let the impurities wither away

II.
Let the Whispers wield you as a tool:

a weapon to cleanse the unworthy.

Wipe away the impurities with your strength.

Let the soft flesh decay,

revealing the bones that give strength.

prove that you are worthy of the power that lies within Kur

Listen, and prepare, for it is coming.

III.
Strip away that which makes you weak.

Become the hand of shadow

and carve a new future of your own desires.

Do not bind yourself in the chains of historical heresy

or worthless secrets.

Do not waste your talents building monuments to your vanity.

instead, shape your future, cleanse it of impurity.

build it, stone upon stone upon stone,

until it becomes truth.

IV.
The fires cleanse, remaking and changing what it comes into contact with

each flame is a sword, carving away the impurities

leave only the strongest materials remaining

Melt the impure like the lava lakes of Kur,

leaving only the strongest of materials.

nothing that is weak survives;

let it be eaten and remade.

Reshape, remake, repurpose.

ready your sword and cleave the way, For it is coming.

V.
Let Death carve away the impurities,

let the unworthy be judged by your power.

Let the numbers you have slain be a measure-stick

Prove to The Decay that you are worthy of being its emissary.

Become the end,

Let the Whispers help you achieve something your ancients never could:

Permanence.
