== The Fivefold Curse == Also known as the curse of Eibhiill,<ref name=Prophecies>2003/05 [[Discoveries]] - [[Prophecies]]</ref> this is the curse placed upon the line of Alaidain<ref name=Prophecies/> by [[Sarvien]], the last king of Dericost.<ref name=AlaidainsGem>2000/11 [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[Alaidain's Gem]]</ref> In the moments before his death, Sarvien uttered this prophecy from the [[Book of Eibhil]].<ref name=HistOfAubVolI>2003/02 [[That Which Is Ours]] - [[The History of Auberean/Volume I: Empires Clashing (-30,000 to -9,000)|The History of Auberean Volume I: Empires Clashing (-30,000 to -9,000)]]</ref>. The curse outlines the [[Sendings of Darkness]]. <blockquote> As we were sent by the Darkness <br> The Darkness shall send again <br> An avenging star <br> A light to bring darkness <br> The Darkness shall send then <br> A knowledge: <br> A power to bring destruction <br> For Alaidain's blood shall be <br> The death of the people <br> And then Darkness shall send yet again <br> And once more, and the Darkness shall win <br> -- [[Alaidain's Gem]] </blockquote> == Heretical Prophecy == This prophecy has no official name, and is labeled heretical as Asheron wrote it would be such in the eyes of the [[Nali]].<ref name=Prophecies/> It was passed down to Asheron from his [[Maila Realaidain|mother]].<ref name=Prophecies/> <blockquote> As darkness draws about light <br> And all falls to ruin so shall come; the star. <br> The darkness will impart its wisdom, <br> And the Light shall lose its way. <br> And blackness shall fall across the land, <br> And the Light will be hidden above. <br> Then shall the light gain its wisdom <br> And Champion. <br> For Alaidain's blood shall be <br> The savior of the people <br> And then Darkness shall send again, <br> and be beaten <br> And so it will send again, <br> and be beaten. <br> -- [[Prophecies]] </blockquote> == Early Empyrean Legend == This tale also has no official name. This tale was told to Asheron by [[Adja]], who said that it has been passed from the earliest generations of Empyrean.<ref name=Prophecies/> This tale was not taught by the [[Northern Church]], and was also considered heresy.<ref name=Prophecies/> <blockquote> There was but Light and Darkness; <br> And then Auberean. <br> Darkness sought to seed Auberean <br> And climbed within the world <br> As Light created guardians, <br> And sent them to defend. <br> Guardians made war <br> Against the darkness, <br> And the darkness drew forth defenders <br> From the land <br> To stand against the light, <br> And the Light called lesser children <br> To bear itself against Darkness. <br> And then the war was won. So the Darkness lay <br> Still and silent <br> But ne'er beaten by the bringers of Light <br> And so it called its children. <br> Not to make new war, <br> But to seed the soil with new treachery. <br> And the Darkness reached out <br> And brought forth other worlds, <br> So too the Light. <br> E'er Auberean at the heart <br> Where ever shall rest the war. <br> -- [[Prophecies]] </blockquote> == Falatacot, on the Old Ones == <blockquote> Those which can eternal lie / In sleep, in dream / Should never die. <br> -- [[Aerfalle's Letter]] </blockquote> <blockquote> When soon the stars align, and dim from darkness time, then shall those who names may not be spoken, birth anew the childer, and be again awoken. <br> -- [[Campaign Journal]] </blockquote> == References == <references/> [[Category:Lore Database Entry]]
