Description varies with level.

FirmamentDescription
80You fall in thunder as the spire splits from Hallow's Throat [...]. The Starved, now part of the catastrophe they sought to avert, wail in eery, skin-stretched lamentation. You do not have time to understand the words. The spire [...] and you plunge [...].
81And then, like a comet descending, the Vulgate flies, spear-straight. [...]

Enough. I have kept this morsel of excised material from truth's arrow. [...] Therefore, as Vulgate, I must write you out.

Its voice [...] dips its pen in your bones and writes with the marrow [...].
82Lord, forgive me you know not what you do! No! This is my domain. You shall not take it from me. [...]

[...] The Gullet, [...] is wracked by a wind that howls like Cereberus at the gates of Hades. [...]

Your fellow survivors struggle to their feet, [...] while the Vulgate [...] begs.
