Notes on the Legacy of Zalmoxis' Bloodstone

Found in the Library of Constantinople.

   "And the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rabsaris and Rabshakeh from Lachish
   to king Hezekiah with a great host against Jerusalem." S: "Am I now come up
   without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go
   up against this land, and destroy it" NO. 'The virgin the daughter of Zion
   hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem
   hath shaken her head at thee. Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? And
   against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high?
   Even against the holy one of Israel" Isaiah.
   
   Further: "And it came to pass that night, that the angel of the Lord went
   out, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians an hundred fourscore and five
   thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all
   dead corpses. So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and
   returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. And it came to pass, as he was worshipping
   in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons
   smote him with the sword: and they escaped into the land of Armenia And
   Esarhaddon his son reigned in his stead."
   
   Cf. words of Nahum: "Woe to the city of blood! Full of lies and robbery."
   Nisroch=Dagon? NO. Eagle, not fish. Babylonians and Medes destroy. A hundred
   years later, Gebele-izis, student of P. Musically gifted, ratio of notes.
   
   G. learned plunder in Egypt, steals from Nisroch. Ruled the Getae with his
   vile powers. Changed name to Z., the earth. A corpse. The dead go to Z.
   Reigned four hundred years, "an eyeblink, if not for the autocthoni then for
   the undead." Defeated by Alexander, defeated and captured Lysimachus, etc
   Finally his power sundered by Crassus, but the stone escaped, taken by elves
   to Kogaeon.
   
   Return to Kogaeon, return to Tomi. 'There he placed it under the skull of K., and let it
   work its awful magic No longer would he seek to rule, now the stone ruled
   in his stead.”
   
   Strange kingdom. Corrupted by effusions. "Blood seeps slowly." The area
   worse and worse. White knights, lulled to sleep by the dripping of their own
   blood. Across the forest. Its maximum r.? Stopped by the sea "Zamolxis on
   his throne, laughing with the damned."
