The Butcher's Letter
Sinufae's Intervention In the Fourth Utterance
On the nether sideof the caliginous deepAbaft those weary riven eyesIn the steely mawof the black moss collectorsWhere a life may cease, yet never diesBraid the veinsand mull the meatUntil the seven, they arriveThen ley your headupon my bonesAnd in that moment hope reviveThough aloneAnd wracked with rueThe sweetest Sinufae remembers you...Tell them usingMy ancient wordsOf the Eyes that Shine so deepFor down beneathThe blackened wavesAn open door still yet remainsAnd through it leadsAll lines of faithFor you commune with the deadAnd when you wakeFrom timeless sleepYou will stand upon the Mother's head

This missive was delivered by what is believed to have been an avatar of Sinufae, and possibly the last remaining halfling, twisted and changed as he was. This halfling was well known to the fringe settlement of Abattoir under the moniker, "The Butcher." He was tracked down to a ruined location colloquially called "The Butcher's Block" and it was there the group following the path of the Fourth Utterance discovered and unveiled the avatar, and were in turn given these words, written in ancient halfling.
The Butcher
