Three chants designed to open the portals in Ardan's Tomb

The Opening of a Sacred Portal


To the wolf's hour hold,
the moon's zenith,
the orders of old,
tight to thee.
To the altar stride,
to wolf's hour hold,
the orders of old,
tight to thee,
At the altar hold,
the orders of old,
tight to thee,
sound songs of saints
disperse the seal for thee.

----

The Opening of a Sealed Portal

Know of the spell of seal,
bound in stone, wood or steel.
Bow to the spell of seal,
bound in stone, wood or steel.

Slide with hand of left,
lines from right to left,
so loose thy flesh the spell of seal,
bound in stone, in wood or steel.

----

The Opening of a Bood Portal

No spell nor pawn,
mere warm life's brew is known,
to the one who breaks a blood-seal.

So may a victim,
that gave its life,
on its victim's altar,
serve the blood portal as its key.
