In the Depths of
The Silkas ancient library where the philosophers and spiders toil and research in the Plat-CUBE Knowledge Vaults where all scraps and bits of information gleaned from thousands of years of history. Since the
Concordia of 2798, scholars searched for every scrap of information from the old world in the attempt to piece together a coherent history of the world and their findings, however piecemeal they may seem, paint a mosaic of sorts. These points of data, however incomplete, paint a picture dot by dot with information of a timeline of a golden age some 3,800 years ago corrupted in some way by a revolution of technology vomiting up the 'Years of Tears.'
This information would've been lost to time if not for the efforts of brave
The Silkas monks driven underground and into hiding by the roving bands of thugs hired out by Feudal Dasal Lords to destroy any resistance to their power. These Lords and Dukes banned all ties to the past and any mention of the "Dead" God Aiwei Stormbringer. Any Silkas member or agent captured by these marauders were summarily executed without a trial. During the Years of Tears, the once open and engaging Silkas Monks, adapted to a guerrilla force living underground.
These underground lairs held vast knowledge banks of information, histories, traditions, and oddities in databanks. Most were found and destroyed by the Dasal Lords, but 3 emerged after the
Concordia of 2798. The oddities are where many strange writings and prophesies exist and are not open to public viewing. The Silkas have their secrets, many.
The Teetering
There are many prophesies in the hidden vaults, The Teetering is the most mysterious of them all, a poem of twisting directions teetering of a knife. In ancient days, the monks wrote in strange tongues and spoke of talking with the faelishe and the faera. The fae- are a legend, a children's story with no basis in truth. Were they talking in metaphor? nobody knows. The poem is riddled in rhythmic from, but scholars go out of their way to try and decipher it and give it credence. Why don't they ignore it, like so many of the others are?
The Teetering speaks of a possible golden age or a return to a new era of dread and murder. It's short and concise, but mysterious at the same time. It goes as so:
At the taming of the Ilcha, the faelishe shine high at the crest of modwe
The faenq will emerge from ages sleep, a magnet, a lightning forge.
Path lies divergent
The king or his menace?
THIS IS a WORK IN PROGRESS...prophesies are difficult
