Fashtan Prophesy
Greetings to the children of the East. We are Fashtan of
the Kurnistani People, Keepers of the magicks and lore, Seekers of knowledge.
An ancient terror is rising, as well you know. We have known of your castings
of the ancient magicks, and your efforts to discover the nature of this
threat, and in this, We the Fashtan, offer you these words, our visions,
our warning.
We have also known of the being that threatens us now.
We have seen the ancient battle, won by the Elven king, father of the great
elven Mage of Earth and Sky, and know well the threat that he imprisoned.
We have watched over the years, the changes in the magicks as predicted
in the stars, and seen the prison weaken and begin to collapse. Those
of us who see beyond the veil of time to the future see a land of death,
and pestilence to a time where there are no more living, when even the
drakes of the far reaches lament their fate before being cast into oblivion.
We have seen the battle lines drawn and re-drawn in your lands, and armies
fall until your Eastern nations are no more, and the great Imperium, and
Lesser Realms crumble to dust in the wake of this terror. We have seen
the elements, consumed, and the arrogance of each turn to terror.
We have seen the land itself, rising and falling in a great final battle.
We have also seen the defeat of this threat, The Destroyer.
Those who see beyond the veils speak of the future as a cloth blown in
the breeze, ever changing shape and form, but bound by many threads, and
many possibilities.
We have seen a great gathering, when those who would lead
their people have come to fight the threat of Destruction. We have seen
the tokens of power and the shadowy figures that would stand in the Circle
of Destiny.
We have seen one of the Land, who wields the power of the
land as a weapon. A being of the past that has come from a vale of magic,
whose nature is kept from us by forces as vast as the drakes. The
land will fashion a new prison for The Destroyer, The Circle of Destiny.
We have seen the witnesses come from all parts of your
Eastern Lands to stand and mark the boundaries of the Circle of Destiny.
Each will bring a power and strength to weave the magicks of the prison
with the ancient magicks. They will be leaders of all races and many lands
who gather to give magic and aid to the land, and to the magicks of hope.
We have seen the end of this Destroyer, and a prison that can not
be destroyed by the cycles of time, and further to a time of peace in your
lands.
We know this, the Destroyer waits and watches, but not
in slumber. He reaches out into other realms and is exerting his will over
them. The elements have felt his touch, and even now he seeks to control
their power. He will need to be stopped, and his conquests in these places
halted. He strikes at the heart of the great Elven nation and seeks to
corrupt from within. He is already in motion in these plans, and the element
of Dream has felt his touch.
We send E’Lorine, the Fashtan of Tribe Kujan with these
words.
E’Lorine will tell you of our efforts to find the Destroyer in the
places of the elements. The key to these places is the lands of the Gorbe
within the great nation of the elves, which is where E’Lorine will seek
you. The Destroyer also seeks these lands of the Gorbe, and their secrets.
