Category: News ArchiveHits: 1217
As we continue to move closer to the arrival of Dungeon Siege II, we are sending along the sixth of the Azunite Prophecies, a series of prophecies recently discovered in the world of Aranna.
These will provide you the first insights into the mysteries present in the world of Aranna.
Historical note: This fragment from the Scrolls of the Agallan Foothills is rare in its clarity. Though any pretense of scientific proof can never be yoked to something as nebulous as an ancient prophecy, there is only one working theory about this passage, and there are rival ones. The cataclysm that ended the First Age is universally believed to have also given birth to the race of Dryads we know today. Though such dramatic origins may well lead some to view these creatures as unnatural mutants of the apocalypse, their extreme connection with nature would suggest the opposite.
-- Bidelia of Aman'lu
Masses of death, masses of birth.
Though the souls shall be ripped into the rushing river, blood shall give birth to a new breed.
Blood of flora, blood of fauna. Death blood shall yield life blood.
Birthlings bathe in crackling magic, and nest in arboreal heights.
Though clad in the leaves of the air, their roots shall penetrate the waters.
Tree songs shall be battle cries; poets shall be warriors.
The gentle race shall stand against the dark one.
And blood shall spill again.
