Ode to Blackrock

The Ode to Blackrock is a personal narrative of Delmore Souverain of his adventure to Blackrock Mountain and his time with the First Regiment and his investigation of the Altar of Storms. It was written in a generally straight forward setting while Souverain is with the First Regiment- but turns philosophical on his walk and journey to the Altar of Storms. While not a full length novel, the story is considered an "dark epic" and is one of the few stories that Souverain has allowed the general public to read from his personal library and personal testimony.

Currently the book is housed at Souverain's Athenaeum‎, in section A14.

Lakeshire Mead
Within the confines of the the Inn of Lakshire I drank my silly to the point of my brain being scattered and distorted- I had zero tolerance for the life I've currently lived and the tribulations of a simple life have begun to bore me once more. Day in and day out, a banal routine of working in the office of the Mayor- I had to keep up a good face with civilization. As I took the final sip of my cold mead a beacon of hope echoed through the crowded conversation of the Inn, "...Maxen is sending his men to the Burning Steppes, they are supposedly meeting at Morgans Vigil...". The rustle of the crowd, or my drunkeness, I had lost the face of the man and called it quits for the day. I returned to the cottage that I had rented for my stay at the humble town- falling at least six times on the side of the road on the way. Reminding myself of the toxin implications of alcohol why did I continue to fall under the spell of that garbage...I knew why.
