Born in the Month of Darkness
Before the Great Burning, before the wars
A time of nothing, but hills and shores
The smoke of cities, and fields of rye
No eyes or voices beyond the sky
Believers roamed from town to town
They spied every baby born, up and down
Scouring the land for a child to use
And ponderous, esoteric clues
A crumbling black city, an outcast found,
Father a monster, mother under the ground
A beggar, a mongrel, a boy with no shoes
He fell to their hands to cage and abuse
And lo! in the month of darkness
And lo! his name destroyed
And lo! he still whispers in silence
And lo! he went into the void
They were drawn to a light, a waning gray
His face was blank, he had nothing to say
He watched and waited, they painted his eyes
They colored his clothing with pigments and dyes
They found a path away from the light
To an ancient tree withered by blight
A sacred altar, encircled in stones
Twin blades of bronze, sharpened on bones
And lo! in the month of darkness
And lo! his name destroyed
And lo! he still whispers in silence
And lo! he went into the void
In the Month of Darkness, seasons destroyed
A ritual killing bound his spirit to the Void
Eyes drained of color, the beggar no more
To become what the Believers waited for
They set him outside, beyond the spheres
Quiet as the night, long like the years
He opened his eyes, as black as a dream
Trying to speak, his only words only a scream
And lo! in the month of darkness
And lo! his name destroyed
And lo! he still whispers in silence
And lo! he went into the void
Location[]
The note can be found on the belt of one of the street musicians near the black market shop on Amparo Plaza, during the mission The Grand Palace. The musicians only appear if fewer than two black market shops have been robbed beforehand and if they were not disturbed by either Corvo or Emily - which includes them being killed, but also being knocked unconscious or simply panicked - during previous missions.[1]
- ↑ The Grand Palace streets map entities file: if the Storyflag "musicians_areDisabled", which is described in the Edge of the World map entities file as "Musicians have been disturbed (dead, choked, panicked...) by the player", is not true and the number of blackmarket shops robbed is not greater than 1, spawn the musicians
