Codex Entry: Avvar Warning - Silent Woods
Up until the later years of their decline the Avvar avidly avoided hunting or stepping foot in the Revassan’s territory, speaking tales of their fierce skills in combat and their terrifying mages. A warning often spoke over fire, a warning to young hunters and traders, later making its way to the bards of the lowlands. These tales and the warning were renewed with vigor after Inquisitor Lavellan earned her legend-mark.
“Be wary of the silent woods,
of hazy fog and siren’s song.
Listen not to their honeyed tongues.
Be leery of the trees for they have eyes.
Their moonlit gaze, you should heed.
Watch for red death caps bloom.
They track the hunter, stalk the thieves.
For the foolish, who heed no caution,
crimson seals their fate.
Their Gods are with them,
huntress Andruil, vengeful Elgar’nan.
Be wary of the hazy fog.
Shun their siren song.
Pay them heed or you’ll be done.
Fangs of steel, touch of winter.
Be wary of the death caps and sirens’ song.
Their gods are with them, while yours are gone.”
