Mad ravings of a prophet

The following is the transcript of the ramblings of the Prophet. One of the few things that supposedly have survived from before The Cataclysm, it has confused scholars for generations. What is left of the tattered document was found in a ruin, by a daring scholar and brought back to the Academy for study. The document itself is sealed away for conservation but below follows a transcript of what have been discerned from it.

There will be a time when monsters will roam the land!
Weird magic will happen for no reason and the people have grown complacent and soft
Then there shall come heroes to save us all
But first there will be other heroes that give up their memories to vanquish the Birima'Asa
And the Surks will guide them but their guide will loose a leg to the Spawns
And nature will rise up to aid the heroes
Over a river
Up a cliff
and into a cave where the Broodmother lies!
The Birima'Asa will fight against the heroes
and claim one of their lives!
But the others will survive and bring down the mountain
and then seal the cave with their life
And later a fool will find the cave when looking for riches
and his will shall falter
he will touch the crystal wall sealing of the cave to the Broodmothers last resting place
Slowly being absorbed to replenish the wall
for should the wall fall, the Birima'Asa will once again flood the lands and threaten all
But 3 brave souls will set out to find this man
and after many trials they will find him
In the crystal wall
One of the brave souls resolve will also falter and touch the wall
but together they gift things precious to them to crack the wall and get their companion and the fool out
but this will weaken the wall
This will cause the wall to crumble in it's time!
And the scourge of the Birima'Asa shall flood the continent again
leaving death and destruction in their wake.
The end of an era it will be, just as last time
  and then!
Then there will be the first heroes again
Tasked to find the missing people

They will venture out
Facing mutated wolfs that will split in half and confuse and blind with their glittering fur
They will survive this only to find the remains of some of the ones that are lost
they have fallen to corrupted creatures
creatures that were once wild but not crazed
creatures that have changed
bloodlust and madness coursing through their veins
their essence perverted by the dead god
that sits in the Tear
The heroes will follow the corruption to The Corrupted
They will fight it
They will kill it
and some might be lost
but it is worth it to cleanse the corruption
but it will not be enough
The Corrupted is just a vessel for the dead god
the taint will still leak from their resting place
and spread unless the heroes do something
They must travel the continent
Rouse the people who are sleeping and docile
Find the source of the corruption
find the lost history of the world
find what the First Ones did
Through ruins and castles
Through swamps and deep forests
Will the Surks guide the heroes again?
As they did before?
Or will the heroes find new guides?
New friends?
The light does not show me
But I do know!
The First Ones will fall!
YES!
WE WILL ALL FALL!
TO OUR OWN HYBRIS!
We will bring about our own doom
and be forgotten by the world
and our creations will inherent the world
and stagnate for what we've done
and the long lived races will suffer for our foolishness
Sacrifice themselves and their immortality
to stop the madness
but not completely
no no no
It will still be there
in the TEAR
slowly seeping
over the millennia
slowly corrupting
waiting


The dead god can be healed
They can be saved
or killed for real
it will all be up to the heroes
They will need to find the scattered pieces
yes yes
the pieces of the mind of a god
how is that even possible?
that is what I see
If they put them together, the god will be healed
and our mistake undone
but if they choose to destroy the pieces
well then the world is forever as is
forever stagnant.
and it is all our fault...


We will all suffer for the atrocities done by the few!
You can try to silence me but my words will resonate through the ages and come true!
You can lock me away all you want
do whatever experiments you want
I will be redeemed!
