Bones in the Walls was a poem dating back to the First Empire. It was about a city that would come to be known as Y'Ghatan. Its author was unknown. "Yareth Ghanatan, the city stands stillFirst and last and where the old causewayCurves in its half-circle there are towersOf sand seething with empires andMarching armies, broken wing bannersAnd the dismembered lining the walkwaysAre soon the bones of the edifices, warriorsAnd builders both, the city ever standsTo house insect hordes, oh those towersRear so proud, rising as dreams on theHeated breath of the sun, Yareth Ghanatan.The city is the empress, wife and lover,Crone and child of the First Empire,And I yet remain, with all my kin,The bones in the walls, the bonesBeneath the floor, the bones that castDown this gentle shade – first and last
