00:02:00don't know better.
00:03:00♪♪
00:03:10♪♪
00:03:20♪♪
00:03:30Oh, daughter of man.
00:03:33The bloom is the last light of the gods.
00:03:37Would you die to take it?
00:03:40I've not come in violence, guardian.
00:03:43Like those before, you came here seeking.
00:03:46Turn from this place.
00:03:48Take flight.
00:03:50The bloom weakens, guardian.
00:03:53You must see that.
00:03:55No one has braved the mountain for an aeon,
00:03:57and now you come offering me knowledge?
00:04:01Go, before I cut you down.
00:04:05The bloom has spread.
00:04:08How?
00:04:10In dreams and in flames,
00:04:12I have seen a single spore of your bloom
00:04:15carried on the winds down from this mountain,
00:04:18through the tall trees,
00:04:20to at last take root in another of man's hidden places.
00:04:24I have come from that place to find you,
00:04:26to put an end to your long vigil.
00:04:28But there are things, so many things,
00:04:31that man cannot know, must not see.
00:04:34Our dreams are...
00:04:36The night you came here has fallen into myth.
00:04:39Scholars have called it the Night of a Thousand Suns.
00:04:45But I dreamed the bloom's dream,
00:04:47and it led me here.
00:04:50The journey was long, painful.
00:04:55But I regret only that it has taken me so very long to find you.
00:05:00Time has had little meaning on this mountain,
00:05:03but your arrival on the same dawn that the bloom withered
00:05:06cannot be mere coincidence.
00:05:09What has changed in the world below?
00:05:12My home was the great swamp of Bastal,
00:05:17though the men who came called it the Old Sorrow.
00:05:20It stretched from horizon to horizon,
00:05:24and I, Sot,
00:05:27was both its servant and its queen.
00:05:37Bastal, Bastal, Bastal Razat!
00:05:42Bastal, Bastal Razat!
00:05:46This flame is the Bastal among us.
00:05:49It is the mouth of the swamp!
00:05:52It is the eye of the swamp!
00:05:54Bastal, Bastal Razat!
00:05:57Bastal, Bastal Razat!
00:06:00Stare. Stare at your own mother, and she will stare back!
00:06:05The stone! The stone! Rock the stone!
00:06:28Invaders!
00:06:35Destroy the wretches, spare the witch!
00:07:05Kill them all!
00:07:29KILL!
00:07:39Bind her. Bring her with us.
00:08:09He took me from Mother Swamp to serve this place?
00:08:18No. I took you from Mother Swamp to die in this place.
00:08:26Welcome to civilization, where the fearful and ignorant toil,
00:08:33and the foolish delight in delusions of power,
00:08:38and the only scent on the wind is human shit.
00:08:46Why? Why bring me here?
00:08:49We all have masters to serve.
00:09:20Halt, outsider.
00:09:23What brings you to the mighty city of Pyre?
00:09:26The Lord Pyranton, son of Uxon,
00:09:29has requested the presence of a scholar from the pantheon Ashurban
00:09:33to witness and record the rise of your patha.
00:09:37Mighty city. I am that scholar.
00:09:41I'm called Gulsur. Announce me.
00:09:48Go on, then. Announce yourself, worm's cock.
00:10:48Lord Pyranton, Gulsur at your service.
00:11:05Tell me, Gulsur, how close is my city to your hallowed border?
00:11:13Why, it's no more than a day's ride.
00:11:15Precisely.
00:11:17And yet, it has taken a full season to send even a single scholar
00:11:24to mark my historic achievements.
00:11:30Why?
00:11:31Apologies, Lord. Your father's empire expands quickly, and the...
00:11:35Ah! Forget what my father has done.
00:11:40He's half a world away from here.
00:11:43This city will be the very tip of the empire's spear into this savage land.
00:11:51And you are all too blind to see it.
00:11:56I can only apologize so much.
00:11:58Stifle your apologies.
00:12:04Despite your sloth,
00:12:10you have managed to arrive on a momentous day,
00:12:13for we have finally brought an end to the wretched mudfolk
00:12:17who have plagued our progress since we broke ground.
00:12:22Sit. Sit!
00:12:26Scholar,
00:12:31take note of how a true ruler manages an empire.
00:12:36Bring her in!
00:13:01As you commanded, we brought you the swamp witch to kneel before you, Paranton.
00:13:07Lord Paranton Mongrel.
00:13:12Lord.
00:13:13You wouldn't be lord of anything without...
00:13:18Don't resist. It'll only make it worse.
00:13:23So tell me, witch.
00:13:30What makes you so special that your savages have named you queen of a bog as wretched as the Allsorrow?
00:13:40The name of the great swamp is Bastal.
00:13:44She brings no sorrow to those who love her.
00:13:48Love her?
00:13:51I'm going to spread her open and take what I want from her.
00:13:57You will know sorrow.
00:14:01Just as your damnable savages did as they lay bleeding in her fetid muck.
00:14:09A fate you'll wish you had enjoyed.
00:14:15Lay her out!
00:14:24Record every crack of my whip, Scholar.
00:14:29Before you take your pleasure, lord,
00:14:34I should have you know, while we were lying in wait,
00:14:38she put on quite a show.
00:14:40Filled the sky with blue flames.
00:14:44Well, show us your swamp trickery, witch.
00:14:51Perhaps I'll ease your suffering.
00:15:21Bastal. Bastal. Bastal. Bastal. Bastal. Bastal. Bastal. Bastal.
00:15:36Now just feed, witch!
00:15:41This woman is protected by the High Order of Asher, scholars of the Pantheon Asherbind.
00:15:52I will not let you harm her.
00:15:54You librarians have no authority here, whelp.
00:15:58I hope you'll remember that.
00:16:00When the snows come, your larder's empty and you're killing each other for a mouthful of
00:16:04frog meat.
00:16:05You'll be begging at the Pantheon's gate for bone meal.
00:16:08You'll be lucky to get even that unless the two of us walk out of here unharmed.
00:16:17Drag them to the cells.
00:16:20Maybe we'll get lucky.
00:16:22She'll tear his heart out for her swamp magic.
00:16:27Don't leave me in here!
00:16:37Don't leave me in here!
00:16:39The Order will hear of this!
00:16:58Careful, you fools!
00:17:01I am in pain!
00:17:04Bring me more wine!
00:17:08You knew, mongrel.
00:17:10You knew she would try something and you let her do it!
00:17:13Nonsense, lord.
00:17:16Careful, careful!
00:17:20You will be in my service until the end of your days!
00:17:24All yours, lord.
00:17:54What is it?
00:18:11How?
00:18:23He will kill us, you know.
00:18:34Then we will die.
00:18:36I don't want to die!
00:18:41Say something.
00:18:49Who were you before you joined this Asher?
00:18:53I was nobody.
00:18:55An ignorant peasant boy until the Asher opened their books to me.
00:18:57They've amassed all the knowledge of the world.
00:18:59And to what end do you seek?
00:19:01I...
00:19:02You.
00:19:03I don't know.
00:19:06Then think on that before you die.
00:19:36You gave me a face to sow fear into my subjects.
00:19:45My father always taught me to repay kindness in the like.
00:19:52You burned my face.
00:19:57I burned your swamp.
00:20:05Take a look.
00:20:22Enjoy the view.
00:20:50Your swamp burns.
00:20:53Free us.
00:20:55It healed me.
00:20:58Can it do more?
00:21:01It is power, yes?
00:21:04Use it.
00:21:22I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
00:21:51I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
00:22:20I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I
00:22:50can't stop them it's not too late

00:23:24here of this he will revenge me
00:23:34Oh
00:24:04Oh
00:24:06Oh
00:24:28the barbarian returned to power to claim what he thought is the scholar rode to
00:24:35the pantheon bloom in hand and the great swamp swallowed me
00:24:43you confess your own death and yet you stand before me
00:25:05now I wonder if you are not simply my own madness a vision come to torment me
00:25:14as the bloom withers I fade from this place
00:25:25do you not feel warmth
00:25:29my story simply is to cause you torment is not my intent
00:25:37was I wrong to keep the bloom from them for so long there is no mercy in the
00:25:46stars no hope for man
00:25:51I cannot say what could have been but I can tell you what was the story continues
00:25:59will you listen
00:26:04while my body lay in the embrace of the swamp the sacred bloom traveled with the
00:26:10scholar called gals or and my dreams traveled with it a lifetime of seasons
00:26:17passed until once again another came one bearing secrets
00:26:47Oh
00:27:17Oh
00:27:47Oh
00:27:56coins food anything I've been gone for pie for many seasons old man what has
00:28:03happened why did the usher take a bombs at their
00:28:06gates dark times I have befallen us great Mongrel the eunuch King has died
00:28:13after a very long reign he has left no sons you think someone would have
00:28:20realized that might be a problem with a eunuch King who went off behind the
00:28:25mountains he did now the city starves but you do not answer my question on man
00:28:33why why did the usher take up arms why do you think the scholars care little
00:28:40the usher noble scholars no they have all the secrets of the ages locked in
00:28:46that tower yet they said nothing what they do not share is surely too vast too
00:28:51complex for the uninitiated to comprehend be careful I can smell the
00:28:56rotting pages of your book scholar they will do little good when the crows come
00:29:02and pluck the eyes from your skull doom comes to the pantheon doom comes to fire
00:29:09doom
00:29:19grand inquisitor we do not have the soldiers to protect the library they
00:29:24will rally against us starving people care nothing for the centuries of stored
00:29:29knowledge we hold here the books will burn with the rest of us counselors we
00:29:37will endure just as we did during the withered spring the Red Tempest and the
00:29:48night of a thousand sons the pantheon is immortal and in a season's time that
00:29:58horde will have dried up and blown away like so much dust on a long-forgotten
00:30:03tome but if we taught them if we opened our gates enough San Al refer you to the
00:30:14sacred vows you swore to our order to gather and protect the knowledge of man
00:30:22our vows call also for mercy our order has no responsibility to the men
00:30:28themselves our gates our food stores stay sealed especially now that Faye
00:30:39Aguilar has finally returned with I trust a bounty of tomes to be indexed
00:30:49translated and archived go forth fulfill your vows
00:31:06Faye I am doomed to forever wrestle with these ineffectual cretins now it has
00:31:15been long since I have left the Pantheon I would hear of your travels
00:31:19with my own ears tell me did you reach the temples beneath Camo yes and many of
00:31:29the vaults were flooded just as your research show they would be I passed
00:31:33through ruins of unknown design and origin a world waiting to be
00:31:37rediscovered the sacred texts were hidden deep within a statue bearing
00:31:41only a single I caught of their nameless bound rumors of the statue
00:31:48being trapped proved false once I was inside their knowledge came to me as if
00:31:52with a desire all its own I've returned with a great number of them for the
00:31:56library I hope you didn't leave the best books heaped upon that wagon show them
00:32:01to me this one in particular caught my eye yes this is truly a wonder but what
00:32:14is this script I cannot read a page of it
00:32:31I
00:33:31inquisitor Uruk have you brought me another one these have run dry I'm
00:33:45afraid now I have come to request knowledge of our oldest and wisest
00:33:54scholar oldest wisest and most imprisoned from the temples beneath
00:34:07come on
00:34:14it is not in any script I have encountered in my studies you have
00:34:22spoken for ages the key to unlock the true potential of the flowers you wear
00:34:28around your neck perhaps this is that key these are the old names in the old
00:34:37script this is indeed the ritual I've so long dreamt of I have been tamed here
00:34:43kept as a pathetic Oracle for the Asher bond for too long this ritual will
00:34:48reveal what these corpses never could release me feigned I'll no more release
00:34:54you then I'll let the council control the library your impulses would overtake
00:35:01you not impulses Uruk studies what is the nature of the power you would
00:35:10unleash it's Uruk it is unspeakable power whatever you dream you will have
00:35:26I will not free you but I have a proposition I bring you what you need to
00:35:34form the ritual and you share its power with me share it yes our words shall
00:35:52fill the living ears of God's long dead pray that they respond
00:36:01what must I do
00:36:32you
00:36:50take this
00:36:55why what is it that you need
00:37:01blood I'll need more blood
00:37:21the people starve at our gates this is not what's supposed to be friend I maybe
00:37:28not but it is how it is if we do nothing then the Pantheon will fall
00:37:33can't you see that be thankful you're in here and not out there what does the
00:37:43great text of Agnes say about contentment clear your eyes and you will
00:37:48see it before you at all times

00:43:01Oh
00:43:31Oh
00:43:54stop this madness there's another way besides cutting each other down in
00:43:59the streets we have books that tell which of the all-stars plants are edible
00:44:03and which are poison we can teach you to survive we can teach you to we will
00:44:08teach them nothing the wisdom of the library is for the greatest minds in the
00:44:17world of men what happened I am enlightened now I'll deal with these
00:44:24wretches would they take our vows they can't even read the words they're
00:44:31animals if they do not leave the Pantheon they will be slaughtered as
00:44:36animals

00:45:14counselors I shall shape a new Pantheon one with no place for those whose
00:45:21resolve is so weak
00:45:25think of all that is gathered here I shall be the Oracle to the world
00:45:40beggars kings gods will kneel at the Pantheon gate for only a sliver of the
00:45:49knowledge I will no longer need the books I shall drink them in as I have
00:46:05drunk the lifeblood from the fallen below us the word is the font of
00:46:10knowledge the books are more important than any man that is our oath that is
00:46:15our purpose I'm making a new oath fealty unto me
00:46:32scholar of the library of Asher Ben protector of knowledge and I will not
00:46:37let you do this

00:47:10Oh
00:47:40Oh
00:47:53once freed gals or destroyed the Ashurban Pantheon the books burned the
00:47:58scholars were slaughtered gals or pride secrets from the bloom and using them he
00:48:04amassed great power raising an army of disciples he had overcome death and he
00:48:09had glimpsed into the eye of the unruly and doom I had hoped to spare the world
00:48:16the horror of revelation the promise of the bloom is meant as a dream
00:48:21unfulfilled in gals or his hands the bloom I'll hear no more of this you
00:48:28choose ignorance you have seen the secrets of the stars themselves let me
00:48:36let me not hear the pain of the world I've served a long solitary penance
00:48:42already I know you have but you are not the only one who has faced the void
00:48:46without succumbing to it
00:48:51let me now tell you of moments of great dignity as the armies of gals all across
00:48:57the land
00:49:36Oh
00:49:51go now an army approach
00:50:06Oh
00:50:36Oh
00:51:06Oh
00:51:23a glorious conquest for pie our triumph tonight will pale when compared to the
00:51:33immortal grandeur of our conquest tomorrow
00:51:55look to the horizon it tells us that there's still a world left to conquer
00:52:01I will stretch from the inevitable sea to the deserts of old emus
00:52:21we march
00:52:31Oh
00:52:33Oh
00:52:35Oh
00:52:37Oh
00:53:00they're gone everyone's just gone
00:53:07Oh
00:53:37Oh
00:54:07Oh
00:54:37Oh
00:54:49did you find anything for us to eat no I did find this
00:54:58it can at least consecrate our hearth
00:55:28Oh
00:55:36the stars like like sparrows falling into a lake of ice and diamonds they feel
00:55:46so warm to me
00:55:49distant travelers stopped briefly to huddle around campfires on their journey
00:55:54across the very spine of nights great body and did these travelers lose their
00:56:00homes to are they as powerless against their nature as we are to ours the great
00:56:09dark its back is to us I don't think it's concerned with such things to it
00:56:15our births and deaths are mere embers drifting free from tiny fires it's
00:56:22it's comforting in a way all that night makes the darkness here seem so much
00:56:28smaller
00:56:37Oh No go should we run
00:56:42no there's nowhere to run to it's too late
00:56:49our little lives so short so sad I'm so grateful that I've gotten to share so
00:56:57much of mine with you don't be afraid go remember all embers fade those flames
00:57:07forever rekindled and extinguished I wonder what our firelight looks like to
00:57:12them
00:57:19I would have a tale from you guardian the bloom has shown me many things but I
00:57:28know nothing of its mother's journey before opening here on this mountain
00:57:33they sang songs of it when I was a boy
00:57:38even now having seen so much I cannot tell where truth gave way to myth
00:57:49beyond night and smoke the gods raged in blindness their hands without purpose
00:57:55but to wield the tools of war
00:58:04the head of one severed from its body spilled blood into the sky filling it
00:58:11with both white and dark
00:58:20the final dream of the dead God his sons the world was theirs anything they
00:58:30dreamed became manifest
00:58:35in time one son dreamt of mankind and so came their first breath
00:58:45ages untold and uncounted men and women lived in the shadow of the Suns to man
00:58:55the Suns were uncaring gods of their world but they learned of it they taught
00:59:03themselves and they survived
00:59:09the Suns dreamed of rain so floods came
00:59:17and mankind learned of loss
00:59:24man came to the Sun and begged him to dream her once again he learned another
00:59:29lesson that day his gods were not merely indifferent they were cruel he swore
00:59:37revenge he promised his followers the world and then he showed them how to
00:59:46take it
00:59:49the blood the violence it bound them to him and they named the man seer the
01:00:03first king of men for an age seer led the hunt for the remaining sons he
01:00:12struck again and again
01:00:24his rage insatiable
01:00:30at last asleep in the snowy foothills seer found the Sun who had first dreamed
01:00:43man the same Sun who had refused him
01:00:50knowing his dreams had come to kill him the Sun fled up to the mountains peak as
01:00:56a child they told me if you listen carefully you could still hear the cries
01:01:00of the battle echoing on the wind
01:01:16seer proclaimed his victory to herald a new era of peace they say lasted but a
01:01:23year glory be to seer the first king same as all who have followed him one
01:01:34man waited atop the mountain perhaps he felt sorrow at the death of the world's
01:01:40old masters perhaps simple curiosity held him there what he expected to find
01:01:49I cannot say
01:01:54what he did find the bloom
01:02:20and there he saw the true dark beyond the light the sons of gods were the sons
01:02:27of gods themselves and they too sons of gods on and on every God a god of death
01:02:41in the dark he saw that man's newfound world was nothing but dust and he vowed
01:02:48that he would spare the race of man this truth he vowed to keep from them
01:02:53the bloom and the scope of its revelation he chose to grant mankind a
01:02:59gift ignorance
01:03:05eventually men came he knew that they would
01:03:10they were desperate for hope he spared them nothing they would not be the last
01:03:18and so it went for ages until
01:03:25perhaps the burden had grown too great perhaps the archer was simply too skilled
01:03:32no matter the cause he fell and the cycle began anew another dread revelation
01:03:39another guardian to stand watch over the bloom I too came here seeking hope
01:03:53two tyrant kings had been at war since my birth just before the harvest season
01:04:02their conflicts came through our fields our crops burned my children starved
01:04:09wounded raging I set out we fought and he fell many times I've wished it had
01:04:20gone the other way I wanted to know the truth behind the
01:04:24myths of my youth I learnt it I remember now so vividly my first sight of it my
01:04:32first breath of it it was intoxicating all that I'd hoped more I went beyond the
01:04:43stars beyond time there I saw the truth in the face of the endless night
01:04:50everything mankind fights and dies for lives and hopes for it is meaningless it
01:04:58is all for naught and I knew then what every guardian before me had known that
01:05:05humanity must be protected from that truth
01:05:11why not destroy the bloom if it was so powerful
01:05:18I ask you
01:05:22who are we to destroy the mysteries of the night we merely stand at the
01:05:28threshold between men and gods if I had known what was happening below I would
01:05:38have the spores of your bloom my fault
01:05:47I am so tired now daughter of man let the bloom die leave let these words of
01:05:56my failure be my last no this night is not yet done
01:06:04listen that you might know how I came to find you and hear the fate of the world
01:06:17ah
01:06:37why do so many fight for Galsor mighty God King Galsor's promise of eternal
01:06:44life has brought the weak will to his cause we fight to survive they fight for
01:06:50the chance to escape death I am eager to spill their blood don't wish for their
01:06:56deaths sparrow crow wish that death might stop you wish for peace I'll wish
01:07:01for revenge
01:07:14you
01:07:28the walls are holding against the ground troops but our scouts to the west report
01:07:33a new breed of war machine how long until they're inside the city walls that
01:07:37depends on an array of factors to your grace morale of the troops supply trains
01:07:42the next batch of green no more than two sunsets this is not what your aides
01:07:48have been telling us general two sunsets then our home will burn and the world
01:07:56will begin to forget that it ever existed tonight is the last night of
01:08:00Oksan be sure of it
01:08:15Jay taught us that King Oksan established this order that it might
01:08:19always watch over the city not that it would idle and wait for its destruction
01:08:24we've got to do something nothing will end this war short of an impossibility
01:08:30Galsor is immortal Galsor must die let us fly to his black heart and cut it
01:08:38from its cage how his fortress lies beyond the Great Swamp he is sequestered
01:08:43behind massive iron walls in a tower made of death itself his airships will
01:08:49return to the city walls tomorrow we board one of those ships and write it
01:08:53back to Pyre a foolish plan perhaps you both believe it can be done better to
01:09:05die in glory then tomorrow we take back the air
01:09:23the flying machine approaches wait till it gets close enough for the catapults
01:09:32to launch
01:09:53attack!
01:09:55enemy attack!
01:10:23for Oksan for Jay we strike
01:10:54so much lost the elders taught of the Great Dead Swamp in the fall of the
01:11:00Asher how could they how could we have been so blind to this vast ruin until it
01:11:07was at our gates
01:11:14look his black pantheon just as Jay used to whisper of it is it as you imagined
01:11:23it's worse
01:11:41God King your brave fallen soldiers have returned from the Oksan front will you
01:11:48grant them your gift and let them live again beyond the mountains we ask not
01:11:54for an answer only a sign
01:11:59great God King Galsour we humble ourselves before your mercy we serve in
01:12:23the hope of your favor
01:12:29let the rebirthing process begin
01:12:59it is time if the ship lands we won't make it over the iron wall may we three
01:13:27meet again in this life for we know there is no other
