O’, the dread! O’, the misery! Veles did unleash the first Horror from the Underworld, did open the Earth’s very bowels and spat from it all things rotten, and the vermin did eat through the souls of the humans!

The sludge that did muddy the once clear Water of Life came from Veles and was born out of false divinity. It did taint human hearts and minds, did darken their memories, and did spoil their feelings with anguish.

And from all those things did Veles spawn his nightmarish army. Made real were agitation and wickedness, greed and passion, pride and contempt, whilst all things human and born from Air were hated.

Both great and merciless was Veles’s might, but even greater still were the disdain and humiliation he did feel when the humans did trample his creation and when his loved one was gazing above. So, Veles did not hesitate to unleash the Horrors against the humans, thus did begin the Age of Misery.
