Revision as of 22:07, 2 August 2005
O thou, new-born, delaying long,
Delayest the sorrow in men and shadow blood alike,
That longs to burst a frozen bud
And flood a fresher throat with your scythe
No idea what this means.
In front of a mirror will be born the infant twin
from the ancient line, childe fae not born fae.
so destined is the messiah to Eredane
they will say the living twin deserves the day.
This might refer to a twin birth where one of the two is stillborn.
Would a stillborn baby have the same chance to become fell as
everyone else?
Through a slit in the Sarcoson belly
The childe born with fang:
Called by a barbaric name from the dead twin.
The forebears come forth from the depths of hell.
Might refer to a c-section birth, Kevin was strongly suggesting that
'with fang' refers to orcish blood. Apparently the earlier reference
- is* to one of the twins being stillborn.
The Enemy is troubled by this Queen's gambit.
The Scrollbearers will fear for their lives.
The darker brethren will doubly disguise his action,
His and her kin face the traitor in anger, and fear.
The queen is probably the elven witch-queen. The scrollbearers might
refer to the PCs, maybe someone else. Dunno who the 'darker brethren'
are. Might refer to the stillborn twin (if fell), no idea who the
traitor might be.
Sorrow and revolution caused by the scythe bearer
making a change not seen in centuries.
The mobile sign thus moves into the messiah house:
Equal in favor to both sides.
No idea what this is about.
When the great wooden columns tremble
in the western wind, covered with blood.
Such a great assembly then pours forth
that Sharuun and the Westlands will tremble.
Wooden columns might refer to the elven forest. Who is 'Sharuun'?
When the great Queen sees herself conquered,
she will show an excess of masculine courage.
Naked, on horseback, she will pass over the river
pursued by the sword: her faith outraged.
Naked? Hm. Is there a division/company/legion/whatever that is called
'the sword of Izrador'? Where is it now?
A founder of sects, much trouble for the accuser:
A beast in the theater prepares the scene and plot.
The author ennobled by acts of older times;
the world is confused by schismatic sects.
Hm. 'Sects' generally refers to religious groups, schism generally
means that various branches of the faith disagree over theological
matters and break with the other sects (kind of like how
protestant/catholic/etc are all sects of christianity that schismed
at some point in the past). The strange thing is that there's only
one faith in Eredane- Izrador. The logical conclusion is either that
the church of Izrador might schism into sects at some point, or that
some other religion will arise...
Beasts ferocious from hunger will swim across rivers:
The greater region will be lead by the Ardoome,
The great one causing it dragged in an iron cage,
The Kasmaelian childe will observe its own tide.
No idea what this means.
Earthshaking fire from the center of the Eredane
will cause tremors around the High City.
Two great rocks will war for a long time,
then Pelluria will redden a new river.
Earthshaking fire probably refers to either a volcano, or one of
those mirrors being broken. Dunno what the rocks are.
In the land with a climate opposite to Sharuun
there will be great shedding of blood.
The heavens unjust on land, sea and in the air.
Sects, famine, kingdoms, plagues, confusion.
There's going to be a war somewhere. Did anyone not see that one coming... ;)
At night they will think they have seen the sun,
when they see the half pig man:
Noise, screams, battles seen fought in the skies.
The brute beasts will be heard to speak.
What fights on the wing? Do the forces of Izrador have fell beasts
like what the leader of the Nazgul rode?
A coffin is put into the vault of iron,
where seven children of the kings of night are held.
Sharuun, Caradul and ruler of Highwall will form.
lamenting to see thus dead the fruit of their line.
?
From the Aruun will come that Sussan heart
trouble Slyvan and the heirs of the men of stone.
Hunting scrollbearers, with fleet of Pellurian
the temples of the Erethor and the holds of Kaladrun shall run or run red.
I hope we're not the scrollbearers.
The motion of senses, heart, feet and hands
will be in agreement between Caradul and Calador.
Swords fire, floods, the Pellurian shore drowned,
killed or dead because of a weak heart.
Who or what are Caradul and Calador?
The treacherous one, who is offered rule,
quickly raised from low to high estate.
He will suddenly turn disloyal and volatile.
This man will govern the horde white or night.
?
The rock of the world holds in its depths white
which will come out milk-white from a cleft
Needlessly troubled people will not dare touch it,
unaware that the foundation is of clay not steel.
?
A thing existing without any senses
will cause its own end to happen through artifice.
At the underworld hearts of the Icewall
there will be great damage from hail and ice.
?
Beneath the rock, struck in stone, lit in lightning,
the treasure of treasures is hidden not far.
The lost things discovered, hidden for many centuries.
when found, one struck blind, eye pierced by beast.
?
The great rock, dwarfholds and underdark,
after peace, war, famine, blood.
It will spread far, drowning great countries,
even antiquities and their mighty foundations.
?
