Songs and Prayers of the Fuming Gate

A Clerical Order of the Hierarchy of Eternal Flame

by Rebecca Downey


Songs and Prayers of the Fuming Gate

"In the Name of the Reaper" is a blessing attributed to Hodael of the Bloody Mace, a wandering priest from the late 300's TR who built the first Temple of the Fuming Gate in Golotha (then called Merethos). This piece is sung/spoken before the sacrifice of combat. It is also used as a marching tune.

"We Call You Forth" is a hymn sung by a lead voice and responding chorus. The chorus of those attending the service, sacrifice or ritual sings the repeating lines ("We call you forth", "In your name", etc.). The song's authorship is unknown, but seems to date back to the 6th century, before the collapse of the Corani Empire.

"The Redeemer's Prayer" is said commonly amongst adherents of the order. It appeared in the mid 600's, sometime after Arlun's founding of Rethem. It began as a chant among the Aperani and Heruchai of the Fuming Gate, but has since spread to Terahni and even laity.
