Story Notes

The Caged Soul Prophecy

January 18, 2022

An expositor found the soul of a powerful diviner, Ludinus Greel, trapped in a tiny silver cage hanging in a single-blossom tree  on the side of the Stonecage Cliffs, his body apparently dangling in the branches nearby: a male human, described as having long white hair with a streak of black, long enough beard and cloaked in the yellow and orange robes, with a winged, angelic figure  hanging around his neck, as though a amulet or focus. Barrax immediately recognizes the amulet and the robes as that of Sarenraei, also known as the Everlight.

THE CAGED SOUL PROPHECY, AS TOLD TO STRANGER’S GIFT, A TABAXI EXPOSITOR OF THE COBALT SOUL, BY LUDINUS GREEL, (DIVINATION WIZARD OR CLERIC?)

And the waves of the wicked whirled and raged against the light. And the light dimmed. And dark was the world of light. The Greatwyrms did block the sun, and the fiends spilled from the pits and pathways. Giants did storm the planes and mountains. Rage took the will of kings and evil was in the multitude. And lo, the children of evil did thrash and wail to be let loosed.

But the good book and the bringer of doom and the piercing arrow and the hand of gem, and the Lion’s star did rise to meet the raging storm, unconquered.

And I looked, and I beheld the green winged monarchs set upon the magic hewn from the stone mountain; from the Arch Heart and Moradin was it hewn.  And the magic wrapped around the Heart that was split and scattered like glass hit upon the rock, and the magic gathered the Heart, And it was taken into the heavens. And the wicked broke against the crashing waves of the stone-hewn magic. 

Behold, the burning gates of the Nine Hells did no more leak its grot up on the mortal worlds. The Sister’s realm sleeps in deathly slumber, sealed by earth and fire. And all were made that were made by the brother to go in peace. Orc and Owlin, Elf and Drow. Goliath and Goblin. Both giant and dragon did they rest.  And the krakens were laid as feed to the fish , the fiends fell from fiery skies and laid as dung to the fields.

And the raging storms of the souls of men were laid calmed by the eternal light. And the gardens returned to the waste places.
