PRAYERS TO UFTHU, GOD OF WAR Ufthu, God of War, Tongue of Iron, Qanak Dasoro, Priest fo the Scarlet Assassins, Dragon Lord, Master of teh Abyss, is the most powerful of the gods. Proud in his strength, unpredictable in his weakness. Ufthu is a wary god, careful in his dealings with mortals, but his greatest weakness is vanity. Take this warning, but know that Ufthu, Silent Huntsman, will heed the calls of one who serves him truly. These Prayers are yours. RALKOR Divine Arrow Ufthu, O bow of the Stars, Hear this low voice, Send down your bolt, Against the one who stands against you. KARNH Hammer of Shattering Ufthu, Sword of the Night, Hammer, Defned your lowly subject, Smite those who stand near your servant, And damn them to the darkness. DROM Strength to the Sword Arm Ufthu, Soldier of Misfortune, Hear your humble Priest, Send your strength to those on earth, Who bear steel against the dark foes. IDRIS Peacful Bones Ufthu, Supreme Lord of Corruption, Through this ring I call your divine essence, Take back these lifeless bodies that assail us, That struggle against death's mortal coil. THOL Mist of Confusion Ufthu, Jewel of the Desert, I call on your breath to come from the ether, To slow your enemy, To steal from them their skills. PRAYERS TO DRUTHO, GOD OF THE UNDERWORLD Drutho, God of the Underworld, Goddess of Stealth, Seducer of the Earth Spirits, Queen of Corruption, Ethereal Hermaphrodite, Demon Lover, Lord of the Portals, the youngest of the godes, hides far from the light of the older gods. Within the lowermost caverns of Lithane, Temple of Darkness, Drutho's Priests toil to supplicate their god. The work of these shaven Priests has made Drutho grants these Prayers to all who recognize his/her dominion in the dark kingdoms. UMESH Knowledge Without Wisdom Drutho, O Worm of the Deep, Call forth the meaning of these words; Pass your darkest light over their script, That they will yield their meaning to me. HOYAMOQ The Temple Passage Drutho, Gol Draqur, moraseth kanu, Open this way for your servants; Having discovered the portal you had hidden, We now must pass through. TAPU Sacred Passage Drutho, Dark One, hear this Prayer. Weave your magic around our passage, That we may walk past traps, That we may pass danger in safety. BYNDU Drawing Together Ah, Drutho, grant me the power; Make fast the beckoning sign, To draw forth opponents unto my presence, And bind them beside me, to stay as I will. MORPETH Quiet Walking Drutho, Mistress of Stealth, Bind our feet with soft wilken cloth, Silence our voices and muffle our steps, That we may walk without calling our death. BELAMOQ Translucent Passage Drutho, Lord of the Portals, this way resists Our most urgent attempts, Take its outline, hinge and bolt, And dissolve its stubborn form into ether. PRAYERS TO GOLTHUR, GOD OF THE PHYSICAL SELF Golthur, Oldest of the Gods, Rulemaster, Keeper of Souls, Lamp of the Heavens, Carrier of Strength, Maker of the Many Little Candles, is a treacherous master. Golthur, the Spider of Time, lies in wait for those whose souls he can steal. Golthur, the Trapper, has given his Priests these Prayers; you who pray to him, tend your words, that your dark husbandry will not call forth your corruption. Walk the words well, for if you fall he will ensnare you and draw your soul through your nostrils. That is his due for heeding your command. SIRDHE Patterns of Healing Golthur of the Labyrinth, we ask your indulgence, We who are weakened call you, Send your strength to our wearied limbs, And we will fight for your glory. HOLNAK Priestly Strength Golthur, Silent Lord, I ask your kindness; Look upon your servant protected by the doyaqur, Send your pwer to course throught these arms, That I might server you better in your designs. ELIS Walking Into Light Golthur, you must hear the voice calling from this circle, To the lowlands, where one needs your help; Take the failing body you see before you, And create new and whole its life force. TELIS Caressing Hands Golthur, Lamp of the Heavens, here at an Altar, We come to ask you to give us our strength, To give us our health and wholeness, We who would supplicate you. BEYONG Virginal Sanctity Golthur, Ancient One, hear your Priest, Take from our bodies the poison of your experience, Take from our souls the plague of your knowledge, That we may walk in the innocence of health again. PRAYERS TO FSHOFTH, GOD OF THE SPRITUAL SELF Fshofth, Invisible Mage, Cold Walker, Thief of the Red Cities, Holder of Mysteries, Guardian of the Spirits, Chief of the Eagles, is a strange god. The wild dictates of his worship seem hardly those of a god, and are understood by few. Of all his Prayers these are those that seem to have some chance of being answered by this Master. The untranslatable Prayer of Lairian is included; the Priest who can harness this Prayer would be powerful indeed. None of the Priests of Fshofth have managed to gain its deep secrets. NULAMIR The Quiet House Fshofth, On the shore of the lost lake, There is a house. Though the spell makers talk, It is quiet still. For though chanting sounds, It will little disturb the air where they dwell. TULAR Gaunt Dreams Fshofth, at an Altar there is a glade, Green leaves and colored monkeys, Fruit drop from the vines, and lie Rotting on the ground. RULASAIR Guant Needs Fshofth, there is no sound on the rocks, No wind among the grasses; The liraya has made its kill, The pups shall feast tonight. EMANUI Growing Health Fshofth, within the smallest quivering cell, After the cold kiss, there is less life strength, But growing within the beating heart, I feel that quickenss return. KUURAOTH The Waking Vision Fshofth, hard at the kauri branch, a bird dips; Takes honey from the silvered flowers, and stops, Troubled by a dark mirage, far in the forest. Your glass will shatter the foundations of the dream. LAIRIAN The Untranslatable Prayer Umhir deln Fshofth, Du saq mishallfen, Ersan su stramanlisa du saq verhallfen, Itor ka skirian, thror qastura taras, Wur qanar qur stilor qur kas.
