Ramh 04:48
lyrics

i. Ramh The pond dried up And so did the falls And soon there was no water But there was something else instead Let the sun shine through the pillar that does lean And bestowed will be a device to see the unseen Be cautious and beware In the cave that is Dim For when it is lit The Ramh shall tear you to shreds And so it is writ. In the older towns that dot the land of Zeffon, very few have as much of a history as Gree. Gree is very isolated, and was formed because of the energy of the Earth that resonated from the area. It is also near Unknown Falls, where a very rare type of squid live. But the main reason for Gree's formation was to taunt the Pathiers by building a town on one of their ancient gravesites. Pathiers contest that Zeffon was formed out of the mind of a man - a man whose disappointment in death was so great that it spawned a world. The victims of this man's campaigns were remembered with a grave marker, which served as a cornerstone for the town's large wall.

ii. Phase Seven In the older days of Zeffon, there was a split in timelines when a woman named Terra Lyeon (from whom Reve Terra Lyeon takes her name) made a fundamental decision to travel back in time to stop the creation of a curse in Zeffon's formation period. No one knows how old Zeffon really is, or how many different people have lived in it, but they do know that there was a time when the Chaoslands were cursed, and this led to people migrating across the ocean.

iii. Unclear Paths Terra Lyeon was successful, creating an alternative timeline where she saved the Chaoslands from being doomed to being uninhabitable. It was in this timeline that the trees began to grow in such a manner that they blocked out the light of the sun. Soon, the only town left that was not devastated by foliage was Gree, where Terra Lyeon built a wall marked with wards to keep the plants from enveloping the town.

iv. Rehearsal Piece Gree in the first unmodified timeline though, has had a reputation - when murderers are cast out of Lavu for their crimes, they often migrate to Gree, where they go to die after being exhausted over the journey there. Yet, even though the wall was built for the protection of Gree in the alternative timeline, it exists in its entirety in both. Why would that be? There are no trees for miles in the regular version of Gree.

v. A Return to the Throne Some say it's because it existed before the town did, and the town was built inside of it. But then what was the wall used for? In the older days of Zeffon, the curse of the Chaoslands manifested itself in a large heron-like bird that was over 100 feet tall. The presence of this bird sent chills down the spines of strong individuals, and its calls turned many to stone. The wall in the old days had the ability to repel and destroy anything that got near it, with people of the old days hiding within the wall's corridors to avoid the curse of the Chaoslands.

vi. To Consume... The wall was also built to guard what appeared to be simple grasslands in the area. Again, this is because the Pathiers deemed this site sacred territory that should never be traversed. Naturally, it would make sense that the wall was considered a very holy place for the Pathiers, and that place began to feel the "corruption of the human mind". After years of being a holy shrine, many Pathiers began to feel ill when within the wall, creating a sense of unease that became common. This was called "corruption of the human mind" by religious leaders, who later declared the wall unfit for people. The real reason people were becoming sick is still unclear.

i. Ramh

The pond dried up
And so did the falls
And soon there was no water
But there was something else instead
Let the sun shine through the pillar that does lean
And bestowed will be a device to see the unseen
Be cautious and beware
In the cave that is Dim
For when it is lit
The Ramh shall tear you to shreds
And so it is writ.
