The Depletion
Ecliptic
A once prosperous nation divided by ideals Varying realizations of a truth concealed Oh, you prodigal children gone astray, so scattered Forging your own prisons with tapestries so tattered Great Imoriscos, brought to ruin Verdant monuments, left to tarnish Revel in this grand dissolution With Essence itself soon to vanish Great Niuxaciros, now only rubble No Beloveds, merely front line fodder These vies for power in centuries of struggle Laid foundations for this mindless slaughter A pointed finger, a declared recusant Accountability, an iron to brand For neighboring nations were insufficient In explaining a fate so damned The great scholars were the first to be lost Those who could not take up arms would surely be the smallest cost For what use is knowledge of a thing so lost to us? A once prosperous nation brought under the wheel Failed realization, a truth forever concealed Oh, you prodigal children with minds consumed, so shattered Escaping to your own prisons in those deepest caverns

To Sima Semu’ul o Kuakul | Of the Convergence and Shuffling of Seventeen

Physicals available on Bandcamp

The first work in what I am effectively calling phase 2 of the project, centered around stories in the world of Mirgaire, set in the same universe as Ĕrǫ Űgṭhĩƚxiƨƚeƨ Ḳmƀaṗḳǫsħi after the apparent disappearance of its death gods. The album is intended to complement a short story collection entitled "Convergence" (PDF included with digital download) summarizing some major events within the collection's broader narrative in the first track. Here, you encounter the great movers in Mirgaire's first major epoch: the Uae tak Lloakati sprawling atop the Great Molluscs; and the Moudevitir, beloved pets of sentient Mantids. As the album progresses, you move past the events of the stories, covering the fates of these people as well as major reshaping events of Mirgaire at large. By the final track, you receive whispers of the next in line: those who would rule for millennia across the continent, and some of those they would seek to govern.
