Songs at Sun's Ebb

From PathfinderWiki

Songs at Sun's Ebb is a collection of poems by the alchemist Vumeshki.

Perhaps the most notable poem is Ilvarandin, a four stanza piece which describes a physical utopia deep beneath the earth which grants eternal life to its inhabitants. Some later versions include a fifth stanza, clearly written by a later (and inferior) poet, which gives a darker and more sinister picture of Ilvarandin.

In fact, Ilvarandin was written by Vumeshki whilst under the influence of midnight milk, a strange drug which transports the user's consciousness to the ruined city of Ilvarandin, home of the drug's xoarian1 creators.23
