"The Giants, the Dwarfs, and the Devils"

#0172. We begin to number the layers the things underground. Our horrors are ancient and born of the Earth itself. The Heart of the World pulsates with torrents of fire and as it does, the bones of the Earth are melted into heaps of biomorphic matter. The matter is infused with the World's Heart and from it spring Giants and from it spring Dwarfs and from it spring Devils. The spawn of the Earth are the monsters beneath its service. They move together in unison and upset the Earth from its precarious matter. If compliance is not found satisfactory, we will be cast into the waters.
