> The Deceiver came down like a wolf on the fold,  
> A dishonored apostle grown hateful yet bold;  
> Craving youth of the sceptre his bitterness grew,  
> Craving wisdom of crown he would seize what was due.
> 
> In the plenty of summer so verdant and green,  
> The land before Molok had constantly been:  
> In the misery of winter so barren and bare,  
> The land past his rising entwined in his snare.
> 
> A plague on God’s chosen by ritual and art,  
> His forbidden power a nation did part;  
> And a host did he gather by wile and allure,  
> A score of grim seasons that host did endure.
> 
> A domain marred by chaos, the Emp’ror’s to right,  
> And at God’s just rebuke he rallied to fight;  
> For five long years he clamoured and clashed,  
> With each battle fought another army was dashed.
> 
> It was Edras at last that war’s outcome revealed,  
> Where broken was tyrant who’d long been concealed.  
> And justice flew swift for his rapacious crusade,  
> And by blood at God’s altar his sins’ cost finally paid.

This poem was shown me twenty-four years ago, by a tutor in my employ.

At peril of a daughter’s ire, I would see it entered on her behalf; that is to say on behalf of Lady Saronu Yassavi.

In sincerest gratitude,  
Anosh  
Lord Yassavi of Shalus

> This is a poetic treatment of an inferred scriptural parable concerning [Molok the Deceiver](https://fiction.eveonline.com/new-eden/lore/molok-the-deceiver), while we do not have the substance of such a story, the fiction portal has an outline of his life and is explicit that Scripture is the only source of consequence concerning it.
