第四书 我们自何处联系,又为何被写入命运之书(Book of Fates),且我们为何要遵守这神圣的秩序。3YVwR
在伟大的犹格-所托斯所处的时期,在远离我们的主宰克苏鲁时,我们已自那古老的预言者口中的荣耀之词所知晓原由,知晓我们为何会在这时间之书中。第一位(先知)是阿格斯-顿(Urgash-ton),第二位是无信之司祭乌尔塔(Ulthar),第三位是母亲伊利斯娜(Ilyth’la),第四位是艾尔-萨拉丁 阿拜之子(al-Salazin Abai)。并且他们每一位都知晓了所有的命运,这就是为什么会进入后来的时代的原由。所有的稍后一点的时代的事情都将被写入我们这尊贵的秩序之中,而且在那个年代的祭典上被祭司所宣扬。3YVwR
Before the eldest tymes,when earth is young,3YVwR
And are ye starres into ye heavens flungs,3YVwR
The elder race shall come from out ye nyght.3YVwR
Across ye cosmic gulf shall come theyr flight.3YVwR
And though they will not feel,nor hear,nor see,3YVwR
And dismal caverns shall theyr dwellyng be,3YVwR
They shall be great,to rule ye new-made earth,3YVwR
Before ye gods may dream of mankind’s birth.3YVwR
And as ye elder race growes weak and old,3YVwR
New caretures come from Yith,ye starry flod’e.3YVwR
To conquer them,and drive them in ye cave.3YVwR
And seal ye gateways ones of theyr cavern-grave.3YVwR
These are ye greatests ones of thy storie.3YVwR
For neither death nor time may ever see3YVwR
Thery end;for they shall coquer both and be,3YVwR
Beyond theyr claym, and live enternalie.3YVwR
Yet on this earth shall be such antient thynges,3YVwR
As war upon them,led by elder kynges.3YVwR
Who homage do to Tsathoggua;3YVwR
Just as in latter days shall olde Crom-ya.3YVwR
And other races from ye sky shall come,3YVwR
To challenge great-ones place,and then succumb3YVwR
To latter races still, who make theyr way3YVwR
From distant worlds to enter in ye fray.3YVwR
(注2:公元前15000年:西梅里安人在酋长克罗姆-雅的领导下,开始了一段种族的光辉史。克罗姆-雅后来被神化为族神克罗姆。 )3YVwR
And whyle Great-race lingers on ye land,3YVwR
Ye great ones come from Yuggoth’s antient hand3YVwR
To build anew theyr nation and theyr art,3YVwR
For they shall be ye ownes who temples start3YVwR
To auncient gods; ye same that we do know,3YVwR
Whych came with them before ye polar snow3YVwR
Hath covered all theyr landes; and destroyed3YVwR
Them,leaving earth of learned lyfe devoid.3YVwR
