GLOG - Hiss from a collapsed fort

lyrics

“We need reinforcements to the garrison on the remote coast of Speralia, you must leave as soon as possible under the command of a platoon of elite soldiers”. The order had come peremptory in the night. You just needed the time to stockpile the supplies and shoe the horses, then you were already on your way towards those regions newly conquered, the last outpost of the empire. The worst news came within hours from the departure: the connections with the outpost were completely interrupted.

Jamir the invalid, wizard of Voltanar, had warned you: “My people never violated the sacred border that divides the known lands from the lands of Speralia, washed by the still sea of ​​Groogh!”. Only after arriving at your destination you understood how Jamir was right...

Speralia was a stubbornly flat region, barren and dominated by a heavy yellowish sky. Its beaches had something hazy and depressing, in perfect harmony with the sea of ​​Groogh: a boundless pool of dead water, disturbing in its absolute stillness. The sacred border that Jamir was talking about, seemed to you not so much a geographical border, but the border between the world of life and death...

The fort appeared on the horizon on the sixth day of travel: part of the fortifications seemed to have crashed under the weight of giant boulders rained down from the sky and a watchtower had completely collapsed. Everything was still. You began to hear the noise a few hundred steps from the fences: a hiss, at first barely perceptible, then increasingly loud until it pervaded the entire acoustic spectrum. You were forced to enter through the hole in the fence because the entrance door was closed from the inside and no one answered your calls. You saw the faces of your experienced soldiers whiten: the interior of the fort was invaded by thousands and thousands of snakes. What happened to the soldiers? What did all this mean?

The answer came shortly thereafter accompanied by another sound: a dull and deep rumble, a roar that made the earth tremble under your feet and that - finally - rippled the glassy surface of the dying sea of ​​Groogh ...


00:00 - Orders came in the end of the night
02:32 - Jamir’s Warning
05:50 - Crossing the Sacred Border
07:17 - Still Sea of Groogh
09:29 - Endless Wastelands of Speralia
12:30 - Hiss from a collapsed fort
