Setting Forth

The Avenger thus raised a great army from among his paladins and champions. (Annals of Light 4.2.2)

Thus did Corean’s Army of Light set out upon the face of Scarn. (Annals of Light 4.2.5)

Invoking Corean

He will give a longing for justice to their judges.

He will give great courage to the warriors who stand at the gate. (Isaiah 28:6)

And when my sword has finished its work in the heavens,

It will fall upon the nation I have marked for destruction.

The sword of the LORD is drenched with blood and covered with fat—

With the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of rams prepared for sacrifice.

Even men as strong as wild oxen will die—

The young men alongside the veterans.

The land will be soaked with blood and the soil enriched with fat. (Isaiah 34:5-7)

He gives power to the weak and strength to the powerless.

Even youths will become weak and tired,

And young men will fall in exhaustion.

But those who trust in the LORD will find new strength.

They will soar high on wings like eagles.

They will run and not grow weary.

They will walk and not faint. (Isaiah 40:29-31)

With his sword, he reduces armies to dust.

With his bow, he scatters them like chaff before the wind.

He chases them away and goes on safely,

Though he is walking over unfamiliar ground. (Isaiah 41:2-3)

He was amazed to see that no one intervened to help the oppressed.

So he himself stepped in to save them with his strong arm,

And his justice sustained him.

He put on righteousness as his body armor

And placed the helmet of salvation on his head.

He clothed himself with a robe of vengeance

And wrapped himself in a cloak of divine passion.

He will repay his enemies for their evil deeds.

His fury will fall on his foes.

He will pay them back even to the ends of the earth.

In the west, people will respect the name of the LORD;

In the east, they will glorify him

For he will come like a raging flood tide driven by the breath of the LORD. (Isaiah 59:16-19)

Everyone will see the LORD’s hand of blessing on his servants—

And his anger against his enemies.

See, the LORD is coming with fire,

And his swift chariots roar like a whirlwind.

He will bring punishment with the fury of his anger

And the flaming fire of his hot rebuke.

The LORD will punish the world by fire and by his sword.

He will judge the earth, and many will be killed by him. (Isaiah 66:14-16)

But the LORD stands beside me like a great warrior

Before him my persecutors will stumble.

They cannot defeat me.

They will fail and be thoroughly humiliated.

Their dishonor will never be forgotten.

You test those who are righteous,

And you examine the deepest thoughts and secrets.

Let me see your vengeance against them,

For I have committed my cause to you. (Jeremiah 20:11-12)

Starting battle

Then the gates would spring open to emit the legions of heaven, accompanied by the trumpets of a thousand angels, and the Swords of Corean would reap the fields, and evil would fall as grain before a scythe. (Book of Silver)

And they will rejoice when I am exalted.” (Isaiah 13:2-3)

Listen! The armies of many nations roar like the roaring of the sea.

It has been cut short, as when a weaver cuts cloth from a loom.

Suddenly, my life was over.

I waited patiently all night, but I was torn apart as though by lions.

Suddenly, my life was over.

Delirious, I chattered like a swallow or a crane,

Loot/treasure

“Don’t store up treasures here on earth, where moths eat them and rust destroys them, and where thieves break in and steal.
