The Oracle of Ebon spire

Introduction: An eldritch poem which weeps a tale of a lost city and her Mephistophelian maiden.


Beneath the blackened, crumbling crown,
Where night bleeds thick and stars drown,
A figure stands wrought of marrow and dust,
woven in whispers, despair, and rust.
The Oracle, her lips a silken dirge,
spills truths that twist like a serpent’s urge.

She foretells a sky that splits and weeps,
where gods lie broken, where darkness creeps;
a flood of shadows to drown the sun,
and ages undone, one by one.
Her breath is a lullaby sung to hollow graves,
a requiem stitched from a million slaves.

What madness drives the daring here,
to barter hope for dread unclear?
The price she claims is flesh and flame,
and the soul she takes will bear no name.
To climb her spire is to court desire,
but none descend from Ebon spire.
