Text

[This stone disc has githyanki runes carved into it. Below them is drawn a translation into the ⁠common tongue.]

The Prince of the Comet, Orpheus himself, led his Honour Guard into battle. Their red dragons bellowed with righteous anger, and the heavens erupted.

The glorious prince cried to all who could hear him: 'Praise be to my mother ⁠Gith, the Queen of the One Sky, sacrificed to the ⁠Hells by the renegade Vlaaktih!

But the True Heir, the Prince of the Comet, could not overcome Vlaakith's knights and their ill gotten wyrms. Mighty Voss, Jhe'stil Kith'rak, lit the astral sky aflame. When the ash had cleared, beloved Orpheus was gone.
