The Quest-Touched

"Reader be cautioned. Many find the later text cryptic, for the ignorance of man is much. Those who do not should not be believed for only a fool claims to understand that which they could have no grasp for. Sooner walk the stone highway in 31 days."
-Forever inquisitive,
Scholar Hadi Brimbleson.

Transcribed from an Elvish tale:

"Sitting upon their throne the feller of Scrofa hoards turned idle chair ornament watches as their lands die but their people are reborn. As the inextinguishable light dims the lands shall spiral into chaos as the Aura drains away but not into the lost ones. Should a hero never arise it shall surely plunge all to unending existence where even gods refuse to intervene."
"The giver of life shall take all around them as they are driven by the unseen whip, its crack leaving scars in the earth. The faithful hound shall turn on a people who once called them their own. Searching for an unattainable end the dark seeker thrashes about directed by the drippings of poison within their ear."
"Gifted by the unseen and unknowable the chosen are the only aid bestowed, for more risks a breaking of all. The quest-touched children will rally to the aid of their homes. The blood of the hunter shall come to strike the hunter down as the life given corrects the balance. Should the unenlightened child falter, the plague shall spread. The wayward novices must chase the flitting glow as its long rest will signal their last chance at salvation."
-The 8th Tanneh,
Elshthæn Athekhun.

The scholars of this text are of two minds, not including the writer. One side believes that this text/tale is in reference to The Great Razing of Url'Thiir. This group believes that the heroes mentioned were the original Spice Warriors and that they reacted too slowly, leaving their land as it is now. The second group believes that the passage refers instead to some yet unknown calamity, and so prepare for its inevitable occurrence. This group either studies the text and similar documentation for clues to its meaning, else they seek out the intended heroes.
