Zarathustra ----- Afflictions Although you are prepared Attacks with venoms still Annoy beyond belief As eerie effects of Afflictions lock you up; Asthmatic slickness joins Anorexia. Shoot. ----- Bars Bars across Sapience Beckon so many. From Bagwar's Alehouse to the Brewery in Cyrene, Broken dawns reveal their Bodies. Delerium Brings disillusionment. ----- Caer Cocoa from Percival Clutched in stiff hands, with teeth Clattering, and goosebumps Ceaselessly prickling, you Can only pray that the Cold will soon be gone, but Caer's beauty still enchants. ----- Darkenwood Darkened light spreads across Deeply rooted trees, in Dusky mystery. The Darkenwood holds many Disturbing secrets, which Dapple scenes in restless Dreams with startled wonder. ----- Erymanthus Elevated on clouds, Erymanthus, the isle, Escapes from the piercing Eagle's eye. On strong wings Earth's Atavians find Elation when they reach Epic Arcadia. ----- Fireflies Flickering in the night, Fluttering out of sight, Fiery wings of wonder Fly blithely and as Free as any bird: in Fabled, serene Cyrene Fire flies forever. ----- Gaia Giving her life freely Galadriel awoke Gaia, the earthmother, Guardian of nature. Gardens and forests laughed Gales, to welcome Her, the Green heart of Sapience. ----- Heaven Hearing the storm outside Heave against the building, Holding a mug in my Hands, Blizzard Kawhe, in Heavenly Cyrene's Haunt: Blu's Den, I feel I Have found my own heaven. ----- Indrani Inside our souls sin hides; Initially we all Inherit its loud call. It sleeps under morals' Inhibitions and wakes In teachings of Lady Indrani, Demon Queen. ----- Jaru Jephrey sells his chocolate. Juggling fish on the docks, Jaruvian fishers Jaunce when the catch is good. Joyously, the Eastern Jewel will look after Jaru, her small sister. ----- Kamleikan Kaleidoscopic views Key you to northern sighs. Kerchief in hand, you stride, Keen to meet reindeer, where Kelp grows in abundance, Kept alive under ice, Kamleikan's main feature. ----- Lamassus Living in Ithmia, Lamassus, raven-winged, Linger in the shadows. Lesser Eidolons, they, Like Abominations, Lessen thirsts of Fonts that Long for Guardians' births. ----- Music Midnight's gentle light sets Minds at ease and welcomes Musings. Inspiration Moves lips in hums as soft Music grows within. The Movements that result will Make Lord Scarlatti proud. ----- Newbies Never before have the Newbies ruled in these great Numbers, some with curious Names, scourging Sapience, Naturally wide-eyed. Now I say thanks they're not Naked as ones from Loom. ----- Order Only those of true faith Offer themselves to an Order in a bond that On occasion hurts them, Overwhelming, since the One that holds their hearts close Often honours their trust. ----- Polyargos Putrid remains litter Polyargos' blue beach, Pungent harpies' droppings. Possibly the dragon's Parching fire could cleanse Pleasant shores of foulness. Please, Yudhi, kill them all. ----- Qurnok Quagmire underfoot, Quadriceps tense in this Quiet, murky village. Quarrels may soon arise; Quick-tempered trolls live here, Quite annoyed because their Quality shield's broken. ----- Ruins Ravaged Icons stand in Ruins, among them a Rose of ivory, once Rising tall, now fallen. Rage causing destruction Reigned Nishnatoba 'til Rubble replaced beauty. ----- Serenity Southern Vashnars' soft breeze Soothes wayward wanderers. Serenity breathes in Song, whispering through the Silence where Her temple Stands cradling justice: a Spiritual haven. ----- Tattoos Tattoos cover us all, Torso, limbs and head. A Tree here, an Hourglass There; on some of us a Tentacle. Colourful Touches blown on soft skin To wow us with magic. ----- Ulangi Underground, in a cave, Ulangi's Horkvals live. Unimaginative, Unrelenting bugs, they Unmorally attack Ulangi's Grooks, their peace Undone by cruelty. ----- Valnurana Veils of sleep have covered Vacuous eyes with Various wondrous worlds, turned Vaguely familiar when Violent nightmares finally Vanished in soothing dreams. Valnurana beckoned. ----- Waterweird Wishes came to life as Waterwalking replaced Wading when from magic's Well a swelling stream of Water flowed to form a Weird: an elemental Wonder of loyalty. ----- Xhaiden Xenophiles will find that Xhaiden Dale holds their own Xanadu. They play their Xylophones and sing of Xenophobes near swamps with Xylographed trees, intrigued. Xhaiden, a strange valley. ----- Yellow Yonder, the Mhojave. Yellow sands stretch out far, Yearning for water's kiss. Yawning after long days Young grasses dot lands where You live on pomegranates, Yielding to sandstorm's songs. ----- Zarathustra Zeal and conviction caused Zarathustra's soul to Zoom in on Chaos' Well. Zephyr whirlwinds gone, the Zarathustran eagle Zagged away into the Zenith on newborn wings. -----
