Grimoire : Heralds of the Winged Exemplar – The Nine Tablets
These are hints found in the Shrine of the Raptor that can only be read by players who start in the Shrine. The text is as follows:
“Mine talon sets word in prose to say
Nine tabula writ I to lead the way
The first of time and entropy is
held secure by aerial lofted key
I writ thee… Lachesis.”
“Within the depths of the Ziggurat
this tablet in shadow rescquiat
To retrieve it thou shalt expiate
The beast who feasts on sins he ate
I writ thee… Nemesis.”
“Amidst recess of arboreal den
Guarded by his woodland ken
The Mighty Wicker rests his throne
upon this puzzle etched in stone
I writ thee… Atropos”
“A holy note in the great steeple
Must disturb the hush of the people
The wall gives way to thundrous peal
And discloses the abode of my seal
I writ thee… Megaera.”
“This tablet is given to evil Queen
She dwells in darkness sight unseen
Her fertility and offspring royal
Shall hold my stone in safety loyal
I writ thee… Arachne.”
“Water dwellers preserve my tokens
A secret traced and never spoken
The emblems of the scaly clan
Are drawn upon the burning sand
I writ thee… Scylla.”
“Gold Lady alone before the sea
The harp will sing this melody
Summon up through fathoms five
The kelpy chariot from deepest dive
I wit thee… Aurora”
“To demons I cast thee tablet mine
Who trapped within the spike do pine
For freedom to rage upon the land
Deferring not to mortal man
I writ thee… Thanatos”
“I soared up on the highest wind
To find a ruler of serpents in
She doth guard my glyph to wait
The eggs of asps to incubate
I writ thee… Gorgon.”
