The Gathering

"Behold, in the early years of the Fifth Millennium

There shall be a gathering of Nine.

Nine Elements and Nine Instruments of Prophecy

Bound together yet fated to battle.

The mind of steel, the swordsman, the guide, the killer, the hunter

the demon queen, the lord of dragons, the man of seas and the thief...

This is how the Elements shall be known.

They shall strive for the Instruments of Prophecy so that

They may walk the Sundered Paths...

The Guardians of Prophecy shall be three

Each representing the aspect of Spirit, Soul and Sorcery...

None shall gain ascendancy, lest the Instruments fall

Into the hands of but a single Element

For down that path lies failure and the rise of a Dark God..."

The Journey

"Once the Gathering is complete and the Nine tread the War-Torn Isles

Shall the Journey commence to the Mountain of Fire.

The conjunction of the Three Guardians will awaken ancient

Terrors and the lands of the Great Continent and the Broken Isles

Will feel the dreadful weight of that terror.

Only then can the Nine Elements descend beneath the rivers of fire

To fulfill their awful destiny.

Should any fall by the wayside they shall fall forever

As will the hopes of their race..."

The Battle

"As the tides of Fate crash against the walls of Promethian destiny

So must the Nine Elements face their greatest challenge.

Indeed that challenge shall decide the Fates of the Universe

And carve a new world from the ashes of the old...

The arena will be a Circle of Fire and the Struggle will manifest

Itself in the fears of those present...

Guard well the Instruments of Prophecy

For their power is the only light in a dreadful darkness..."
