Caer Rigor/ Fort of stumbling
Rise up and look at me. Here you are, in Caer Rigor, all lost and trembling. The air here is dense, the light is dimmed almost to the point of darkness.

The wheel
The wheel has turned,The circle’s done.Let’s face it – here’s the change The wheel has turned.Whatever’s gone,Is gone for fool and sage.
