  • [The Oracle of Logres:]
  • It was a time of change. The descendants of the Atlantean mages had fallen
  • before the New Praesidium, and the wolves were baying at the Empire's door.
  • An oppressive new faith was encroaching from the east, and the sylvan liege
  • had locked tight the gates of his arboreal realm. And so it was that towards
  • the end of the Age of Mystery, the last of Albion's great Dragon Lords did
  • gather for what would be their final battle...

  • An oath sworn in battle, a vow blessed by steel,
  • I swear by the dragon's blood in my veins... and the dragon's heart that pumps
  • it!
  • [The War-song of the Dragon Lords:]
  • Dragonfyre in the fray, faith and steel shall win the day,
  • A god to serf and king alike, the Adamantine Hammer strikes!
  • (Devouring the infidel outlanders; Draconis Nematoda, great winged worm of war!)

  • To victory eternal... this world shall be our empire!
  • Dragon Imperium, throne of the Ancient Gods, behold the axiom, Wyruld-Cyninga!
  • It is time! We shall rule, and upon our dominion the sun shall never set!
  • [12 October: 1893]
  • I must commit this to the pages of my journal, while it is still vivid in my
  • recollection... not that such a macabre vision could possibly soon be
  • blissfully forgotten. Just before dawn,
