Chapter fifteen: Epilogue

Of course, dear reader, no history would be complete without speculation upon the future. For hundreds of years now we have heard talk of a coming Fifth Epoch. Some say it will be a time of great change, when mortals ascend outside the Material Plane, to explore and discover other spheres created by the Nameless One. Others say that in the Fifth Epoch, the Nameless One will be named, and all that is our world will be undone. I cannot tell you what will happen in the future. I am a sage, not a soothsayer. And yet, I believe that the Fifth Epoch may well be coming and that it will be time of great change. I believe the fifth fruit left on Eliwyn will at last ripen, and perhaps Asmodeus will escape his bonds in Hell. It will be, I think, the third great apocalypse of mankind, but we will survive. We will always survive.
I hope that you have enjoyed this simple history. It is the fruit of my life’s research. I imagine some of the revelations I have provided may well be shocking, and many who read this will doubt its accuracy. Rest assured, dear reader, every word is truth. It is my life’s pursuit; it is who I am. Without truth, a sage is little more than a talkative old man
