Bal-Sagoth - The Epsilon Exordium
[Instrumental][From the journal of Professor Caleb Blackthorne III, discovered May 1899, near the great Temple at Tiahuanaco, Peru:][23 September: 1893]Upon extensive examination of the nefarious arcane codex known as The EpsilonExordium, I believe my search may at last be drawing to a close. Indeed, Ifeel that perhaps the great discovery which has eluded me for so long mayfinally be within my grasp. And yet I must be cautious, for twice more haveI seen the figures in the night, watching me in silence from the confines ofthe darkness. I cannot discern their features, only that they are vaguelyhuman in shape, save for their arms which seem abnormally long and oddlyjointed. My native guides are becoming increasingly agitated and skittish,babbling incoherently about the guardians of the tombs... citing legendsfrom their ancestral past which speak of mysterious travellers who reputedlycame down from the stars in great silvern chariots drawn by steeds of flame.At any rate, I have my trusted Martini-Henry .45 calibre breech-loadershould these silent stalkers prove malign and ever deign to lay hold of mein the night. I have at last translated the carvings on the stone fragment Iunearthed amidst the ruins of Angkor Wat. To my astonishment, I found that itpredated the construction of the temple itself by countless thousands of years,and that it spoke of the same subject as did the hieroglyphs I beheld on thewall of the concealed chamber which I and Lord Blakiston discovered within theGreat Pyramid in Egypt. Successive examinations of the edifices at Giza andKarnak revealed further parallels too precise to be mere coincidence. Thepieces of this great cosmic puzzle are finally beginning to fall into place...[2 October: 1893]Yes, it is as I suspected. I have long felt that the Sumerians of Mesapotamiawere among the first peoples to attain elucidation concerning the dread matterI pursue. My excavations at Lagash, Eridu, and most notably the ziggurats atUr, have revealed truths which subsequent finds at Angkor, Egypt andSacsahuaman only serve to consolidate. I now know that the Olmechs, the Aztecsand the Mayans were also undeniably key tendrils of this grand global web,and the unnerving truth I hitherto felt compelled to deny now seems inexorablyto point to some grand and terrifying universal axiom.It seems however, that the closer I come to enlightenment, the greater thedanger becomes. Last night, one of our expedition's chief guides disappearedwithout trace. His native compatriots could find no tracks, nor offer anyevidence of his departure to suggest that his superstitions had finallycompelled him to abandon the party... the man seems simply to have vanishedinexplicably into the oppressive, sweltering dark. In light of thedisappearance, I opted not to inform the group that during the darkling hoursbefore sunrise last night I had peered from my tent to behold what I perceivedto be three of the shadowy figures I have previously described moving furtivelyin the gloom, keeping ever just out of the illuminatory radias of our campfire.By the time I had brought my rifle to bear, they had melted away into thefathomless shadows of the benighted jungle...[10 October: 1893]The inscriptions on the tablet I discovered seem to be a fragmentary piece ofsome mysterious, perhaps apocryphal, larger work; evidently a lexicon of somedescription, undoubtedly of antediluvian origin. The first section, as far asI can discern, tells of an era thousands of years past when countless greatand advanced civilisations, apparently with the legendary Atlantis foremostamongst them, spanned the circumference of the globe. The initial passage,seemingly a celebration of Atlantis Ascendant carved by a renowned chroniclerof the day, speaks thusly:
