"Lord of the Whispered One" The Song of Vecna

[Music Intro: A deep, rumbling organ drones ominously, joined by the slow toll of bells and low Gregorian chants. Strings creep in, weaving a dark and sorrowful melody as the tension builds, preparing for the chant to rise into the first verse.] [Verse 1: The Mortal's Rise] Beneath the stars, a boy of scorn, From Fleeth's dust, a dark was born. A mother burned, her life a flame, His soul now cursed, his thirst for fame. [Verse 2: The Lich Ascends] In shadowed halls, his craft took flight, With bones and spells, he claimed the night. A whispered name, all feared his tread, For he would rule the realms of dead. [Chorus: The Artifacts] The Hand of Vecna, its grip so tight, The Eye of Vecna, a cursed sight. Together bound, his will unbent, Artifacts of dread, malevolent. [Verse 3: Betrayal by Kas] His trusted blade, the warrior Kas, Brought ruin forth, betrayed his mass. A clash of wills, a throne undone, Yet death could not unmake the one. [Verse 4: The Dread Domain] In Mists accursed, his spirit caged, A prison wrought for one enraged. The Dreadlord rose, the Mists his bane, Yet he escaped, to plot again. [Chorus: The Artifacts] The Hand of Vecna, its grip so tight, The Eye of Vecna, a cursed sight. Together bound, his will unbent, Artifacts of dread, malevolent. [Verse 5: The Ascent to Divinity] No mortal chain could bind his quest, Through schemes and lies, he seized the rest. Upon the heavens, his hand did claw, A god of secrets, fear, and law. [Verse 6: Eternal Whisper] Yet even gods did strike him low, Cast from their midst, his wrath would grow. His eye still watches, his hand still strives, Through mortal hearts, Vecna survives. [Chorus: The Artifacts] The Hand of Vecna, its grip so tight, The Eye of Vecna, a cursed sight. Together bound, his will unbent, Artifacts of dread, malevolent. [Outro: Gregorian chants swell, the organ returns, deep and resonant. The strings rise into a mournful crescendo, fading slowly into a single toll of the bell as the final echoes of the chant fade into silence.]
