Ancient Tower Ruins

While Lark of the Camp Directors was cleaning up the Gate Camp of any debris, he discovered that the stones found throughout the area have strange writing on them. After some research and comparing the other stones, he discovered that they are likely all connected.   With Elmgrove's help, the directors were able to discern the shape of the structure the stones once belonged to. It seems that it was once a tower before some calamity caused it to fall apart. Strangely enough, this tower has a language that is likely an ancestor to Elven, while the Gate itself is covered in Elven writing. So, while the Gate was once attached to this tower, it was made long after the tower was.   The Writing found all over the stones is connected and was used by Elmgrove and some other nearby elves to discern the shape the structure once held. This writing seemed to be largely in future tense and mixed with a great deal of nonsense, though something prophetic was hidden within all the madness. It is also possible that it is part of an even longer more convoluted or incomprehensible prophecy connected to other buildings out there in the Spirit World.
Prophecy
  The god cries, the anguish, tears, will tear like paper, will be filled with a list of what is soon to be needed, a reminder, things to come, things that must not be forgotten, onions, potatoes, some meat, more meat, tomatoes, aching in my feet, extremities, extremes, the last things that we will think, the thoughts that we no longer will feel in this place that will no longer be protected, the man that once protected us and no longer did and will some day but can no longer, as his mind will twist and turn around these lost alleyways behind these buildings that I have yet to have the builders build where we were in the lost times that we had, halved, half, notes that we forgot to write down, towards the ground, the place I heard it cry will hear it cry, my ears will bleed and I know that I Must have written something down or will forget it and forgot it and will remember it, like memories that were stolen, by the host, a party, the party host, not me, I don't do that kind of thing, I don't host, but the one that will be the host is a most terrible host, we will no longer embody, but it will embody us, or it will have our bodies, the bodies that are going to be lost to the ages that were now forgotten to play, and the time that we lost playing outside away from the rain, the reign, his reign, soon to be shared by theirs, they will take on the his and the hers, titles of both a king and a queen, titles lost to others, that only they can have what they have, that only we can lose what we have, that the god will cry out not for us but for another lost to saving us, but she won't be alone, he will be with her again, and we will all be dead.
