The Legend of The Mountain Eye, The Sheperds of the Night.
Ill are invasions of the land of eyes for the men of low. For the Shephards know. The Shepherds will hunt and rip and tear the flesh right off their ground-bound mount. It matters if bald or crowned. When the dawn comes they march along back to the deep below. The Shepherds watch all of life in their cursed burrow. Watch for eyes in the darkest of darks. For the Shephards have chosen their new mark.
