Down, the Jewel went.

Down and down, the Jewel went

Walls crumbled away to dusta

More and more ormyrr were sent

Reduced Shallam into history, past.

Sycaerunax, he carved destruction

Through buildings and men alike.

The University, a cherished construction

Was first to be set alight.

Paradise birds soared to the skies,

As screams tore through the air.

Above, the Father of Dragons flew high

.. He is true terror, undisguised.

The ground beneath began to give

As saltwater rushed to claim

The lives of those who lived

Extinguishing their burning flame.

Down and down, the Jewel went

A sunken city of death.

All knew what this loss had meant

Hope had finally left.
