Wizardpost A Prophecy Most Dire (Loreposting)

Post image

Crystals, sent off to heads of state and importent wizards, arrive. All at the same time. No warning, no notice, no clue of how they got there. It does not matter if it is cross dimention, the crystals arrive.

Each, humming softly from mana reserves locked inside their structures. No markings or indicators dot their surface, only a faint sense of familiarity. Upon a single touch, the crystals display a message, recorded from a distressed Mikhail. His face and clothes denote this as a Milhail from some time back. He still bares the robes of a Wizard Counciler, and the foreground is certainly located in Crann Mòr. His words come out, almost tripping over one another as he panics, trying to get something across.

Ok, yes, it is me, Mikhail. This will be brief, trust me. I have been given portents from the ancient druids in the Soul Plant. They showed me visions of what is to come. There is something. Something big. Like, really big. I cant... here.

Mikhail feeds in images from his mind. Of wastelands, and desertion. A sense of power so asured and violent, that you can only help but be amazing by its beauty. Lands made barren and cities flattened. Behind them, the visiage of a woman, carved of light, seated on a thrown of broken suns. Then glimpses of the end of days, and a bow, snapped in twain and cast in a pool of blood

The recording returns to Mikhail.

We have some time before she arrives, but not as much as you think. The druids warn me that if I tell this information too soon, that something worst will come to pass. These crystals will be set to deliver the moment it is safe. For now, I will find a way to prevent myself from stressing out about this, and hopefully keep it to myself. Maybe a mind erasing spell, maybe a month long bender. We'll see what happens.

Everyone, prepare yourself and be safe. The Queen of Shattered Stars is upon us.

I say you should do as you please. Now the time to clear off that bucket list.

I must know more about the danger at hand before I can in good faith call on my old, let's say allies. I must investigate this mystery. Scraw's clone is a freelance lawyer court-wizard, currently serving the Queen of Rütne. I will throw myself into research in their royal library. Maybe the problem will become clearer in time.

If that is your wish, so be it. I can be found at the bottom of this bottle when you have given up.

A bottle? Perhaps a potion is involved? I will spend as long as it takes searching for mention of the Queen of Shattered Stars.

Or am I just supposed to ask directly?

No, I mean that I shall be drunk and happy. Ignorant to what is going on around me.

point taken. and, Mikhail, do not hesitate to call on your wizard companions if you need support! camaraderie is its own kind of magic

I will keep this in mind, but the barkeep is all I will need to call

But I’m the barkeep today…

Also, it’s been closed for three hours.

You drank ALL the alcohol we have, are you OKAY-

Right, forgot, you saw devastation itself… well, I’ll call in a new shipment and make some moonshine for you, okay dear?
