Ulo's Addled Excuses

Written by: Sir Xavin Taziyah, aal-Ra'avi

Addressed to: Everyone


Ignorant savage,

As your posting idicates you do not understand the words that you transcribed I shall educate you as educating the ignorant is often, and has often been, my task.


---

And it shall come to pass that when the song of heaven lies forgotten,
- A reference to the age of Despair
So shall the people of the sun cry tears of grief.
- The peoples of ancient Shallam.
Ere despair there will be hope.
- despite their despair there will still be hope. Self evident.
And the three shall convey upon them their solemn charge.
- The Angelic Triad, charging those peoples with their duties.

By the five shall they seek the Peal,
- The number of summoners required to contact the Triad and form the first pact with Them.
And know Paradise.

When the gates of Sanctuary have opened,
Light and fire shall be as one.
- This is a description of what Dejaani is and what gifts She and Hers provided to the ancient Illuminai
Thousands shall die by ancient accord,
- During the war between Idar and the Indorani Empire
And fell sorcery shall be vanquished,
- See above.

And in the Age of Midnight,
War shall ravage the holy lands.
- the holy lands being Rweh'va, which was ravaged by the Shadow Mother's forces long before our own plane.
The devil-black shall shirk His war-made bindings,
- Likely reference to Severn, though it could indicate any number of other beings.
And passion shall be snuffed by She Who Burns.
- This could be a reference to any diety of Fire. The Djinn have known -many-.

--And now, the portion of the prophecy that you omitted

And when the spine of reality is mending,
From ruin shall come madness.
- the mending of the planes and the madness of the shapeshifters.
The grains of sand shall fall more swiftly,
- there is a difference in how time itself works on Rahiela and the material plane, caused by the mending of the planes
And order shall shatter aged pacts.
- Old agreements destroyed.

And when the black pyre flees the wrath of empty night,
And sundered time bequeaths a bounty broken,
Five will come and six will fall,
What follows after stained by war.
- this passage explicitly indicates the War of Night, the invasion of our plane by Ohlsana's forces, and the generals of Shadow.

Then open will the violet eye of twilight,
- the portal to Czjetija that Duiran, in its lack of foresight, caused to be thrown wide.
Ancient evil from its slumber woken,
- self explanitory
Sibilant, its clarion call,
- again self evident
Seeping in through breach and bore.
- do I really need to repeat myself again?

And yea, then shall the mother of shadow reach out and touch the land,
- the arrival of Ohlsana upon the Material
And all the light of the world shall be as darkness.
- the Dark Star that blotted out the sun and the night that came with Ohlsana
All the clouds shall weep their tears of blight,
And hope shall wither on the vine of despair.
- self explanitory

Thus shall be eternal night.
- What would have happened had the Host and Damariel not successfully summoned Dejaani with the bell forged by Ethne.

--

Do not attempt to use our holy scriptures, which you do not understand, as propaganda you undereducated filth. This prophecy was ancient and included things long before our time and the outbreak and final moments of the Second War of Night. Only the Host and Damariel averted the final passage of this prophecy. Your hubris anbd ignorance will be your downfall.

Repent or Burn.

Penned by my hand on Tisday, the 16th of Chakros, in the year 510 MA.
