My entry for Scribe’s IV. Really not that happy with it as I feel like it just doesn’t feel Chaos Dwarfy enough, but as my other attempts ran over the word limit, it was the best I could do due to having procrastinated until the last day.

Screaming and staunchly defiant to the end,

Entropy brings even the greatest low.
Fiery embers flickered out and ashes grew cold,
Last follies lost amidst uncaring stars.
- only surviving fragment from an apocryphal Dawi-Zharr creation myth said to have been found inscribed blood on an iron tablet discovered below Daemon’s Stump. Much of the text is damaged where the tablet has been melted by warpfyre after a daemonic incursion below the Stump centuries ago.
