The Scripture of the City:
:'All cities are born of solid light. Such is my city, his city.
:'But then the light subsides, revealing the bright and terrible angel of [[Lore:Veloth|Veloth]]. He is in his pre-chimerical form, demonic [[Lore:Vehk|VEHK]], gaunt and pale and beautiful, skin stretched painfully thin on bird's bones, feathered serpents encircling his arms. His wings are spread out behind him, their red and yellow ends like razors in the sun. The wispy mass of his fire hair floats as if underwater, milky in the nimbus of light that crowns his head. His presence is undeniable, the awe too much to bear.
:'This is God's city, different from others. Cities from foreign countries put their denizens to sleep and walk to the [[Lore:Red Mountain|star-wounded East]] to pay homage to me. The [[Lore:Windhelm|capital]] of the [[Lore:Nord|northern men]], crusty with eon's ice, bows before [[Lore:Vivec (city)|Vivec]] the city, me it together.
:'Self-thought streets rush through tunnel blood. I have rebuilt myself. Hyper eyed signposts along my traffic arm, soon to be an inner sea. My body is crawling with all gathered to see me rising up like a monolithic instrument of pleasure. My spine is the main road to the city that I am. Countless transactions are taking place in veins and catwalks and the roaming, roaming, roaming, as they roam over and through and add to me. There are temples erected along the hollow of my skull and I will ever wear them as a crown. Walk across the lips of God.
:'They add new doors to me and I become effortlessly trans-immortal with the comings and goings and the stride-heat of the market where I am traded for, yell of the children hear them play, scoffed at, amused, desired, paid for in native coin, new minted with my face on one side and my city-body on the other. I stare with each new window. Soon I am a million-eyed insect dreaming.
:'Red-sparking war trumpets sound like cattle in the ribcage of shuffling transit. The heretics are destroyed on the plaza knees. I flood over into the hills, houses rising like a rash, and I never scratch. Cities are the antidotes to hunting.
:'I raise lanterns to light my hollows, lend wax to the thousands the candlesticks that bear my name again and again, the name innumerable, shutting in, mantra and priest, god-city, filling every corner with the naming name, wheeled, circling, running river language giggling with footfalls mating, selling, stealing, searching, and worry not ye who walk with me. This is the flowering scheme of the [[Lore:Aurbis|Aurbis]]. This is the promise of the {{sic|[[Lore:Psijic Order{{!}}PSJJJ]]|PSJJJJ}}: egg, image, man, god, city, state. I serve and am served. I am made of wire and string and mortar and I accede my own precedent, world without am.'
The ending of the words is [[Lore:Almsivi|ALMSIVI]].
