The Zenith Revelation

Darkness clouded my eyes, blocking the bright midday sun that was lighting the battlefield. Just before everything became dark I could see my fellow warriors also stopping their actions, even the enemy halted their charge, looking around in confusion, trying to find any explanation for what was happening.   Slowly the darkness made way for a blinding white light, brighter than first morning sun at the New Dawn. A shape became visible from the light, showing a blade that should not be able to exist. Just as white as the light that had revealed itself in the darkness. Runes were carved in every possible spot along the sword, both simple and incredibly intricate ones. The blade was cast in a pure white aura, lighting up the clearly man made walls of the cave and revealing the silhouettes of six people walking calmly towards the blade.   The six walked up to the blade, taking it together and walking onto the battlefield. They slayed everything in their path and with each kill the blade glowed brighter. Once the fields were cleared they moved on, standing eye to eye with even the tallest of giants, but nothing could match the blade, now glowing brighter than the sun.   Eventually they came to the top of the mountain, walking into a small, humble abode and the six face an old hooded man. The man smiles and praises the six before the vision freezes, the last image being the smiling old man, showing his eyes as bright as small glowing suns. Darkness clouded my eyes again before everyone looked around in confusion at being back where they had stood before, face to face with the enemy.
During the Shattering every citizen got a vision showing a pure white blade located within a dark cave and a group of six unrecognizable people collecting it. This let to a nation wide search for the blade, everyone wanting to be one of those six that got their hands on such powerful weapon. The details of this revelation are written in The Zenith Scroll, currently unreadable due to the use of Shattering Speech.

This is very cool! I like that everyone got the vision at the same time, no matter what they were doing. It's a fascinating addition to this world! :)

Thanks! Yeah it's a very cool part of old history, especially because it gave me a good reason to actually think of that part of history.
