GATHERING THE SIXTH

The Cabal of the Ghul

SCROLL XXVII

Of the Eaters of the Dead,

The Seekers for Eternity

Herein I will tell of all I have learned of the honored race of the Deathless Ones, the Eaters of the Dead, the Seekers for Eternity, the Ghuls. In all my decades of my commingling with their kind—in war, in pursuit, in flight, in parley, in learning and yes, in friendship—I have found them to be not repulsive, but rather primal.

Where once I was horrified by them, they now engender only sadness, and even a desire in my heart. If my destiny were my own, it is likely that I would walk to the oasis of Zarzara in my elder years as did Aharon, sit upon the sands, and let the tribe of Naram-gal feast upon me and make me one of them so that I could finally be at peace. The dream of R’lyeh would finally be silenced.

But my path is one of vengeance and desire. I will have my Adaya, and those who murdered her will know that it is I who will be their ending. I am the slayer; and you, reader, in keying yourself with my memories shall be the host to my hateful mind.

~

But that is yet to come. Here, in my own life, my own thirst for revenge is yet to be fully sated. I know that in my pursuit I needeth the greatest and most tireless of hunters and seekers to guide my way, and so I am proud to live and breathe to serve the Cabal of the Ghul.

They are a worthy race. I daresay the Ghuls have more respect for one another, and for brave warriors who defy them, than we ‘mortals’ do for our own kind. As is the way with every man and woman of our kith, the Kingdom of Man, there are vile Ghuls and there are Kings and Sultans among their kind. Some are esteemed and gentle, some sagely, some fearful and of timid mien. Others are vicious and savage, bestial and reveling in blood. Many are evil, but the noble few forever redeem the race.

And are not men so?

~

But know you this: the more that you honor the Ghuls and understand of them, the more fated you are to learn from them and not be at war with their ancient kind. There will be times, in pursuit of wisdom and sanctuary upon and beneath the deserts, that you will have no choice but to destroy them. But always, this should be the path of last resort. For as the Ghuls live for centuries, they have prophets among their kind, and they are the masters of our memory and lore. It is they who are the sacred keepers of Khom and Sumeru, Babilu and Akkad. Every race of man which has been slaughtered and eradicated from this earth has its own survival in the Kingdom of the Ghul. Even Hyperborea, Cimmeria, Atlantis, Mu, Thuria, Stygia and on ... the fallen empires of mortals live on in their memory.
