The Prophecy of Golden Gaze

(From Asterion Folklore)

"Lo, eyes of gold peer through time's misty veil

Where fates do wither that others may bloom.

'Twixt heaven and hell doth hang the scale.

Hark! Whispers of doom none dare avail,

Of choices grim lest all meet their doom.

Lo, eyes of gold peer through time's misty veil.

In mortal vessel, power beyond the pale,

A force to craft and rend, to bless and consume.

'Twixt heaven and hell doth hang the scale.

Where throngs once dwelt, now silence doth prevail,

Yet from this void, new life shall soon loom.

Lo, eyes of gold peer through time's misty veil.

The weight of worlds in each verdict frail,

Pruning the tree of fate, lest darkness entomb.

'Twixt heaven and hell doth hang the scale.

When dust alights on futures curtailed,

And twilight's gambit hath reached full noon,

Lo, eyes of gold peer through time's misty veil.

'Twixt heaven and hell doth hang the scale."

(Delivered to Preacher Enoch by Nepheli, prior to her recruitment and his introduction to the Keojrah-Glynt Company)

"Hear me oh priest, turn here and listen true

You now must heed the call of fate's decree

The holy light of earth now turns to you

It flickers now, faced by eternity.

Seek out a band that hunts me even now

A twofold spirit and a soul transposed

A lady that expects the world to bow

A flame called truth who heresy yet knows

Beware the seekers of unending days!

Their folly risks a fatal fall to doom!

To end their plots you must attract their gaze,

And swiftly cut it off, lest it resume.

To save the light you may be called to sin

Let not the dark that lies without within."
