Death to Divinity

Written by TailorOfFates

Contents summarized 

This document was written referring to the song "Death to divinity," it's origin, it's meaning and the effects it may have on those who hear it.
 Commonly misperceived to imply the death of all divines, the song actually seems to be referring to specific gods that would be deemed as "lies." This means that the god was made/created. A natural, or correct god will either manifest around an existing spark with sentience in order to govern their domain, or it will ascend from a mortal or immortal state after completing some form of divine trial. The lyrics appear to imply that the lies are what is causing the imbalance in Edens gods, potentially even being the cause for their war, and that their death will correct the disorder.
Until more intel on the matter can be gathered we must move forward with what information we have collected and sealed within this document.

Historical Details

History

This song is historically known to be associated with either the cult of the Damned or Mercy's like, neither organization is ideal for the "average joe" to hear from.

Public Reaction

Most civilians with any common sense are terrified by the notion of hearing this song, specifically because of its historical relevance and those known to have sung it.
Then again, it has a lovely tune, and not everyone is well educated enough in Edens history to be aware of the songs power.

Legacy

To this day the song still holds power. Most often hummed by Edens most prevalent necromancer Magnus Malekye, it is usually accompanied by the rising of several hostile corpses who based on their mood, appear to have missed breakfast. Casualties tend to follow with an average death rate of 5-10 people per interaction.

Death to Divinity

General Overview

A song well known across Eden not only for the renown of its original composer, but for the fact that it inspired Edens most terrifying necromancer, Magnus to work toward a truly blasphemous act. The slaying of gods.
Because of the songs connection to a member with historical ties to Mercy's Lie, it was assumed that Magnus was also a part of their secrecy society, though no physical evidence has been found to prove this theory. The clear connection between the two figures despite the huge gap in the time periods that they were alive in was the fact that when anyone would enter the most sacred temple belonging to a cult dedicated to the worship of Magnus called The Damned, a lovely voice would begin to sing the song "Death to Divinity."
This haunting tune has echoed off the cold reblestone walls of the The Temple of the Damned for as long as most can remember.

Physical Effects and range

It appears that when played any creature within range will feel the effects of this tune. An abrupt discomfort will settle in the pit of their stomach and the hairs on the arms and neck of the subject will rise. Gradual paranoia and insomnia are common symptoms for up to a week after hearing the song. Some have speculated that singing this song has the The Deorum Pantheon remove your fate entirely, bypassing the protection of mortals from divines as established by the E.P.C (Edens preservation convention), but upon confirmation with Hades this rumor been disproven.
The range of this song appears to be entirely dependent on the aura size of the caster, ranging from something as miniscule as 10-feet, to over 16km away.

Original Composer

The composer, Valensandra Whit is confirmed as the original founder of Mercy's Lie. The song is believed to fully encompass her known disdain toward the divines, and was used to inspire her and her blasphemers during the war of gods when the organization directly orchestrated The death of growth, The goddess Myamya.
The first two verses were the only parts sung during its first creation in 601 BN, however, the second two verses were composed centuries later closer to 6196 TN, and by the same composer. This simple fact has driven modern day historians wild with theories on how she could have lived this long.
Below are the lyrics written out in common tongue, though the original was written out in Belani script.

*Soft hymm*

Ashes drift from crimson skies as angels fell like rain. As the soul rots from within all prayers are heard in vain.

*Chorus of hymms*

Feathers lie on hallowed grounds as burdened wings can't fly, behind the necromancers eye divinity must die.

*Chorus of hymms*

Piece by piece he built us hope, a new anatomy. Bones did break in Mollys wake, her hollow symphony.

*Monstrous hymm*

Stitches encase a misplaced grace as the final faithful cry, the false divines revealed disguise viewed by the mortal eye.

The inconvenient truth they continue to deny, to correct the lies divinity must die.

~Valensandra

Historical References

It was heard being sung across the three seas of Eden for nearly 200 years after The Destruction of Kumlan, and then again after Magnus somehow resurfaced on Eden in the year 6196 TN, but only in the Temple of the Damned, located on Adele. The islanders believe that the song is being sung by a Cursed cadaver who roams the temple halls, protecting it from those who might desecrate or steal from it. To this day the islanders of Adele have forbidden access to the temple to both island natives and tourists alike in fear of disturbing the Cursed cadaver, or the temples necromancer owner.
Otherwise, it has been well established across the lands of Eden that this song is reserved for the Damned or the dead, and is not to be sung by the living unless you wish to welcome death.
I offered my services to my superior officer Hecate to head to the Temple of the Damned and investigate myself, but he ordered me to keep all Edenpol personnel off Adele permanently, assuring me he would follow up himself.
