The Heart of Miir
Another world, another time
In an age of wonders
A mighty lord
forged a mighty fortress
to stand against the armies
of an empire
and he named his city Miir
Inside the fortress
he placed his greatest treasure
A crystal that stole fear and hate
from the hearts of men
Then all lived in peace and unity
until the crystal woke
Then strife began
and a new race appeared
The cruel and devious Shadows
Here in the tower
at the center of Miir
The Shadows took control
For nearly a thousand years
the Shadows, with their immaterial forms
and their harsh and twisted wills
have ruled in secret
Now the Shadows gather
in the sacred chamber
where a crystal hangs
above a shaft of air and fire
Once more they will replenish themselves
drinking men's fears and dreams
stolen through the power of their source
the dark and beating Heart of Miir
