The ominous poem composed for the dread and fear of Crassus Baal the Rat. A demon who gambles and seduces. He makes his victims destroy themselves, rather than by sheer force.
By the gods
The rat comes to scratch at the door again
He comes in red silk clothes
With feet of hooves
And head of vermin
To dance and deal
To wreck and cheat
His power is truest deceit
For it is not the bellowing and thundering storm
But the precise and silent chisel
That brings down towers and kingdoms
So hold fast the doorframe
And do not let him in
For once his whisper is eared
None can withstand
The seduction of the rat
Lest you hear the rat’s true name
Crassus Baal
The Sword to Unite
