Vengeance
Vengeance

Angarad the Forsaken
sharpens the knife of his ambition
on the whetstone of his ills.
Abandoned by all in the moment of need,
alone in the wilderness of Grym,
he practises the ritual of memory,
counting the score of betrayals
and focused only on revenge,
enthroned now in his purpose.
So fills his life with the bitter gall of hate,
his friends now his enemies,
prisoner to whatever may befall.
