In trials of ir'n and silver fain<br />“The dead will rise and walk again<br />“The blesséd few that touch the light<br />“Will aid the war against the night.<br /><br />“But one by one they all will die<br />“Without a cause to rule them by<br />“As Darkness spreads across the land<br />“He'll wield the oceans in his hand.<br /><br />“Five warriors will oppose his reign<br />“And overthrow the Shadow Thane<br />“They come from sides both dark and light<br />“The realm the mortals call “twilight.”<br /><br />“A magus crowned with boughs of fire<br />“Will rise like Phoenix from his pyre<br />“A beast of shadows touched with sight<br />“Will claim a Dark One as her knight<br /><br />“The next, a prophet doomed to fail<br />“Will find her powers to avail<br />“The final: one mere mortal man<br />“Who bears the mark upon his hand<br /><br />“The circle closes round these few<br />“Made sacred by the bonds they hew<br />“But if one fails then so shall all<br />“Bring death to those of Evenfall.
