❝to live in the house of gods, you must learn the tongue of divinity.❞
Nerluce - named for light - dwells in darkness, where the longest shadows are cast by the greatest beasts. Nerluce is sure he's surrounded by very great beasts. They flash their cruel fangs and crueler insults. They choke the light from his chest with their chains.
Disdain for gods and men is made in dim places. Hunger for ruin is cultivated in starving stomachs. Power for destruction is rarely given but when it is, oh, the world will burn.
