Description

<You can't read the text, but diagrams seem to indicate that the devices around you should be activated in a set order.>

<One passage of the Apocrypha has been translated to modern text:>

In the beginning was shadow eternal.

Hate blazed forth, and FIRE was born.

Wounds scabbed, and so begat EARTH.

Cries of anguish birthed howling WIND.

Wherein the skies wept seas of TEARS.

We live in the shadow,

The world we know

Built of rage, hurt, anguish and sorrow.
