Foundation Poem: Seven Pillars
Seven Pillars knit the worlds
together — hand in hand.
Swords and shields, oaths be sworn...
Interweaving red strands.
From the Seven came the Houses,
symbols of chaos and order,
Protecting and guiding both time and space...
Always transitional.
The First House unified all within creation.
The Second completed the cycle—
death and life coexist, never one without the other.
The Third brought with them the gift of healing,
warm and gentle souls.
The Fourth created order to stem the chaos,
to help govern and control.
The Fifth allowed curiosity to be nurtured,
so that all could grow.
The Sixth brought the chaos back within the order,
sin hidden in shadows.
The Seventh broke the unity,
so that the next steps could be taken.
War and chaos then ensued: the cycle thus completed,
The Seven then disappeared...
Thy descendants are still here,
mixed within the sea and shadows.
Their guiding hand revered,
Forever lost, forever here...
Both worshipped... and forsaken
