Fragments

Think ye that there is only one Death? No, for there are three, and therein is a great Mystery. For there is the death of the Body, the death of the Spirit, and the death of Containment. A wise servant of the Black Emperor can move between the states, like a bead upon an abacus or a firefly among the dead grass. One who embraces the three deaths never truly dies, but draws upon the pools of Body, Spirit, and Essence as energy. It is said by some that the false houses of men and giants and angels wield their own three energies, but we know this to be false. The only energy is Death and his three faces.
Translator’s note: the author of the Onyx Triad is correct about the three points of the Deadhaus triad but incorrect in his dismissal of the other houses. His perception of Truth is limited by his perspective. A Higher Truth is rumored to be spoken of in the Book of the Obsidian Octahedron, most copies of which were denounced as heresy and burned at the Grim Council of Anu Maht approximately 10000 years before the start of Deadhaus.
