Quote:
[Grains of Sand – a module from the old campaign that had a trove of prophesy. I’ve tuned blue the ones I am confident have already come true in the old campaign]
One million grains of sand can blot out the sun. The cat plays with the bird until it is ready to pounce. One thousand years is not forever. When the sword sows only bones, the scythe reaps only blood. One whisper in the silence can shake the pillars of heaven.
The Hegemony rises upon the coils of its ally. Woe to the powerful who scorned the least of the thirteen. Their secret shall tear the falcon in twain.
The child finally meets the Father. In blood it was begun and in blood it will end. Some will drink deeply, others will bathe in it.
Within their metal hives they ride upon the minds and eat of their sentiments. Man is cattle to Man. The wheel turns, as the beaten child becomes the beating parent.
Proclamation. Devastation. Prostration. Those who hold back the night fall. Shall any light be rekindled or shall the dead lie quiet within Neroth’s embrace?
The Standard lost, the army is demoralized. Loss begets loss as the City of Delights falls. [The Standard Lost probably refers to events in the rebellion/liberation of Abesios ... but Savona never fell]
I believe all of these prophecies have already been completed.
1. I would never have solved, but lucky the answer is given in the module itself. This talks about a great war that was approaching (The Coryani Civil War) and the famine that will follow. This proved true in Year 4 The Deadliest Prey where it talks about grain shortages, and tighter restrictions to getting it.
2. This was completed in Year 2 Where's Illiir's Light has Never Shone. When the Myrantians of Abesios broke free. But we didn't know everything until Year 6 Sacrifice. Abesios broke free with the help of renegade Yigites from the south. The least of the thirteen has always been the val'Inares. And in Sacrifice there is a possibility to help them find a home in the new territory of the Abesios Dominion among the Myrantians and Yigites.
3. The child is the val'Assante. The father is Manetas. Manetas was the Valinor that created the val'Assante line. He stated it himself in Last Rays of a Dying Sun. Manetas caused much bloodshed throughout out the land.
4. I'll admit that "metal" is an odd word. But this prophecy talks about the Il'Huan. How legions such as the Legion of the Watchful Hunter were purposely ordered to be converted into Il'Huan. Of course they wouldn't have done it if they knew the truth, so it was done forcefully by those who were loyal to the people giving the orders. Of course this had huge repercussions for Cadician Legionnaires when they found out. And to everyone during the Battle of Enpebyn.
5. This is about the death of Menisis and his revival.
6. This about the breaking of Coryan. First the loss of Abessios, ending with the loss of Savona. While Savona did not fall in battle, you could say it fell from grace. After it left Coryan it didn't join the rebels even in the end. Unlike numerous provinces and cities during the Civil War. i.e Ulfia and Valentia.
