“Those unholy ziggurats built from the remains arose in great number as Nergal, the dog-faced poisoner, tore the world apart. And in each ziggurat of bone dark rituals were conducted.
Beings were tortured and flayed. Left to rot, their dismantled bodies became part of the ziggurat itself. Others were thrown into deep pits where they struggled and suffocated before their bones were used to replenish the structures; which grew ever taller in Nergal’s wake.“
