"For as the torture grim
Seized on each withered limb
The writhing dame
Mid fire and flame
Yelled forth this curse on him
'Each lord of Ruddigore
Despite his best endeavor
Shall do one crime or more
Once, every day, forever.
This doom he can't defy
However he may try
For should he stay his hand, that day
In torture he shall die!'"

"The priest, with his dying breath, called on the power of the blood of his people, and put on the gold a curse. If anyone took so much as a single piece, as he was compelled by greed, by greed he would be consumed. Within a day of leaving port for Spain, the treasure ship carrying the gold... something went wrong. The ship run aground, every man aboard dead, save one. He survived long enough to hide the gold ashore. Over time, the dark magic of the curse seeped into the place, making it a cursed island. An island of death. Isla de Muerta."

"By the power of my own blood I bind you. By your own name let you be accursed.
This is my doom upon you. May your face always be held in shadow, black as the toppled towers of my beloved Myr Tariniel.
This is my doom upon you. Your own name will be turned against you, that you shall have no peace.
This is my doom upon you and all who follow you. May it last until the world ends and the Aleu fall nameless from the sky."

"I am without a face among men. I am not seen. I speak and am not heard. I come and am not welcomed. There is no place by the fire for me, nor food on the table for me, nor a bed made for me to lie in. Yet I still have my name: Getheren is my name. That name I lay on this Hearth as a curse, and with it my shame. Now nameless I will go seek my death."
— Getheren, The Left Hand of Darkness
