f Irem Of Thousand Pillars
rem Zhat al Imad, Irem of the Pillars, the great city. I have spent ten
thears in the heart of the "Roba al Khalitheh," the empty space, the great
southern desert colored "Dahma," crimson. And I have seen the fabulous
many pillars of Irem and I have been called "majnun," mad and
possessed of the Jinn. Many are the strange and unbelievable marvels
that may be seen there. Alas for the earth has swallowed up the City of
Pillars, no more do the caravans of frankincense pass by. Many have
called it a town of great wickedness, but do they dare comprehend the
fabulous?
Irem was an earthly paradise to the initiated. Towers rising high, the
great octagonal fort, alas no more! And there were places here of hidden
knowledge and of power.
Some say it was built by giants, some by the tribe of Ad, but Irem was
here before men and though swallowed she will protect her secrets from
the profane, releasing them to the knowing
For there are many levels of existence for Irem, many levels of reality.
So Irem of the Old Ones still exists in some form, and is not this great
desert, this empty quarter connected to the void.? Cannot a Muqarribun
interact with its unseen denizens in the Crimson Desert?
