Prophecy of the Obsidian Eye

The first Obsidian Eye from his chamber in The Epitaph used the Destiny Pool to foretell a prophecy and was assisted by an assistant named Markus who wrote these words down in his tablet.

The world is fallen; fallen into chaos.
Men reached up in anger and shattered the sky.
Its blackness falls to earth like a rain of dark glass;
The ordered customs and rows of society are shattered.
All men stumble
in the blinding light of a blood red dawn.
Sightless who will not see.
Deaf to the truth they will not hear.
Mewing and wailing of and for themselves.
They kill with discordant and untamed shouts
The melodic order of their better selves.
Yet from the Obsidian’s fall shall arise
Seen only by the ordered Eye
The blade which shall render order in their midst;
Silence the voices who screech outside the ordered tune;
Darken the eyes of unwelcome vision;
And bring one vision, one voice, one song
To a world reborn in perfect twilight.
Supreme and ordered once more in its flawlessness.
Of one thought and purpose born and died.
Until only the night remains.
--The Prophecy of the Obsidian Eye

Temporary Info

“Ready, my master,” came the answer echoing through the chamber. Markus Dirae was an acolyte among the Obsidian Sorcerers …” There were several soft clay tablets arrayed on a table next to him within easy reach. There was a dim awareness that Markus was inscribing runes into his tablet in some faraway place. Pages 16-18

• • Markus Dirae himself had written down the Prophecy of the Obsidian Eye at the edge of the Destiny Pool. He had ascended to the Central Circle and taken the place of his master upon his passing.
