The Unfated Wanderers Canto 37
The Bramblefog Tower Tablets
The Machinery of the World
Ensures that the Natural Order of Things operates correctly.
New machines can be built by
Any god that chooses to do so.The Exiled God devised Vertices
That he used to pin the Realm of Terrors to the Living World.
This machine allowed the Realm of Terrors
To bleed into the Living World.He only needed someone to open a door
To Rend the Confines
To complete the connection
And allow him to pass through.The solution to this
Unnatural Order of Things
Is to unpin the Vertices, reseal the Confines and
Defeat all Terrors left behind.Enter the Vertex and find a sphere.
This sphere is the pin holding together the Realms.
Lift the sphere, say “marcation” and shatter the sphere.
The door will begin to close. Pass through while you may.While in the Vertex, you are more
In the Realm of Terrors, than the Living World,
Though you are still in both,
Just more so one than the other.You must heal the rent in the Confines.
The Learned Giant existed for this purpose.
He still does. Go to his heart and say Mend.
Utilize the lever and heal the rent.The first Vertex was already closed
but not unpinned.
It lay in catacombs delved too deep.
Where the unfated did give aid.The second Vertex is within the stump of a felled tree.
The stump is brown.
The stump is not in the frozen north,
but in the warmer south where things can grow.The temple where the Vertex sits
in the center of the stump.
But it is locked by a cursed object
held by the brown stump.The third Vertex is in the northern ocean
far beyond the lands where you walk.
There is a lone island, but you cannot sail there.
The ocean must be trod.The island can be found due north
of the fierce mouth.
Tread that water and do not veer off-course.
North is the only path.The fourth Vertex is within the largest mountain.
There is a library guarding the entrance.
When these words are present in the library,
the temple will be revealed.
