The Song of the Five
*The Land of Light and Shadow is dying…
The flames of Darkness are rising.
The myth long thought forgotten is weaving,
The Time-Lost cast beyond the world returning.
The hero in his slumber waking,
The son of greatness, bound to dawn's breaking.
The dawn lies shattered, its ruins crowned,
A MagalaN summoned by empire bound.
The remnant yet waits, uncalled, unnamed,
But once he is drawn, the fate is the same.
For the Endless is coming — faceless, devouring.
And the Ancient War will soon begin.*
— A verse of forgotten prophecy, whispered since the Age of Legends

The Book of Prophecies
*"These are the visions I have seen in shadow and flame,
etched upon my soul by powers older than the stars.
I am Princess Victoria of the Deamune Realm,
Seer and Ruler, cursed and blessed to witness what may yet come.
Read, if you dare, the weaving of fates.
But know this: prophecy is no chain of iron.
It is a mirror cracked,
and in each shard lies a different doom."*
— Inscription from the opening leaves of the Book of Prophecies,
penned by Princess Victoria, Ruler of the Deamune Realm
