Ghyll:Bordingbras his hatt!

A strange epic poem of the little understood Loolier people, the only extant manuscript to survive their destruction. They were destroyed sometime between -400 and -300 EC, in a not entirely understood conflict. They are said to have massacred a force of rival Exingians over a matter of dispute in Theoalchemy, and then to have been destroyed for their vile crimes, by who or what remains unclear to this day, though the, though the Vale of Serdoch is suspicously close to the ruins of Alezan. They have been often viliified for the events of the Battle of Barnum Stones, but some modern historians question this.

But that is a matter for other entries. This is about the strange and bizare poem that they left behind to befuddle the ages. Not many study it, out of hate for its authors, but those who do are rewarded with a strange delight, as it tells a moveingly tragic tale of a hero who misuderstands and is misuderstood constantly. However, the poem also conatins encoded in its strange lyrical patterns, the secrets to the alchemical methods used by the Looliers. Using the Clamorxian Decoding Method, it reveals that they knew not just how to create light out of chemicals, of which there are several known methods, but how to create chemicals out of light, including gold. It also claims that they apparently learned this from Kiluma, goddess of chaos. This remarkable revalation shows the root cause of the hatred between the two clans, as the Exingians did not have this kind of power at their disposal, and felt that Kiluma was their patron goddess.

This recent discovery by the decoding specialists in the desert city of Zixflin adds a new element of mystery as to exactly what happened to the Looliers, and why.
