"They have another name; one that can only be pronounced in the Old Tongue; one that is best not spoken or written. We call them The Old Kind, because they were here first; and we call them the Pre-Dead, because they have no future or past, only present. Even Gods may die, but not The Old Kind. They are to be avoided, and failing that, respected. But never trusted, nor loved." - The Obsidian Corners Record, Codex 4, Script 24 Written, Narrated & Produced by Joseph Stilwell Frost Cricket - Sarah Krusch The Devouring Flame - Hugh Henderson Cover Art by Matthew K.
