The Seven Prayers: Ship of Fools (Inactive)

Game Master Aebliss

Heroes brave the princess saved
From tower where once a wizard raved
Of seven black pearls and seven prayers
But where now he chants his laments and airs
You not yet know yet discover must
Lest all creation be reduced to dust
So on Ship of Fools you set your feet
To travel to victory or sink in defeat...

A secret for now:

The Rough Beast rose, but at last it fell
On the night when it was 'prisoned, there sounded a knell
When Desna, Mirarae and Sarenrae in wearied sleep closed their eyes
Three powers so disappointed said a prayer beneath the lightless skies
Seven black pearls, seven prayers, seven sins in a crown so pure
When that blasphemy is assembled, no Creation may endure
Seven spells from Thassilon lie rotting on the shelves of the Pure
'Less seven spells form the crown, and seven prayers are set therein
No power nor fiend nor mortal may realize this sin
From whom is it a secret? From ladies of light and prince of lies
Who can tell you the truth of it? The one who is, and yet denies
