"You shall find my body beneath the steep cliff, where the larch grove grows.  Take my skull, and hang it from the old larch tree.  And then you shall make of me an instrument: my skull for the box, the tree for the neck, my tail for the strings and bow.  Whenever you play it, I shall be with you, for At-Beyi is inseparable."

"O Victorious Maul, send down your fury!

“In the Black, dead souls creep
Seeking vengence without sleep.
Sacrificed for precious stones,
Rend they now flesh and bones.
Bloody staind and drenched in tears,

‘Treachery has sown the seeds!
Now you’ll be the one who bleeds!
Wear us well, you who brave,
Next you’ll be in the grave!’”
- Tas-Vessina’s curse
