The Prophesy of Apocalypse
The Legend
"When the faltering dawn rises on the day of doom, the one who walks in shadows shall draw his blade on his brother of light. When their blades clash, dusk against dawn, the ancient binds of time shall shatter and the dawn shall give way to endless dusk from whence the second son shall come."
Summary
The most common interpretation of this prophesy is as follows; "When the Lords of Light and Shadow clash in final battle, or champions draw swords in their stead, the Shadow will overcome the Light and plunge the world into eternal darkness."
Historical Basis
The prophesy refers to the relics of Lords Celestial and Oblivion, the twin blades of dawn and dusk. It is well documented that Lord Architect gained possession of these blades and granted them to his most trusted disciple as an eternal guardian of their unimaginable power. Their current whereabouts are unknown.
Spread
This prophesy is a well kept secret of the oldest and most revered knightly order, the Brothers Mortal. They share it only with the leaders of the four nations and the Keystone Elementals.
Variations & Mutation
Through negligence, a twisted version of the prophesy was released to the masses, claiming that dark magic will bring about the end of the world. This is widely believed throughout the world and the source of hatred for dark wizards.
Cultural Reception
More than anything else, it is the fear of this fate that binds humanity together against a single, common foe.
