Cadaverine's Clan

The First was born in a garden, and knew nothing. The garden rotted, and in their last breath, they found four truths:

The first is the Meaning of the Rose.
In death, its thorns lose their sting, and its green flesh passes into black depths.
The rose is prey.

The second is the Meaning of Vermin.
Learn their wisdom, and be many. A chorus of minds holds wisdom, where one skull is a cavern, echoing madness.

The third is the Meaning of Venom.
There is always poison within you; hold it fast to your heart, until the time comes. Strike not swiftly, but surely.

The last is the Meaning of Rot.
We are the rose and its thorn; we shall return to black depths and be eaten. We are prey and flesh.
We shall be new flesh.
