    Voidheart

    The year draws to a close. The days are


    short. The nights are long. It is a time of
    endings. It is the time when the monsters
    who live in the darkest of places venture
    out and hunt.
    The worst of them is a creature which
    has no True Name. Some call it The
    Nothing, others say The Empty. The Where are the heroes?

    Oh the screams. What ritual protects from The Nothing?
    For a year the screams are heard. 1 Singing of hymns
    Ceaseless. Emanating from the spot
    where the prey was taken. 2 Giving of gifts

    The next year ends and the screaming
    stops. They are never heard from again. 6 Praying to deities
