== The Fivefold Curse ==
Also known as the curse of Eibhiill,<ref name=Prophecies>2003/05 [[Discoveries]] - [[Prophecies]]</ref> this is the curse placed upon the line of Alaidain<ref name=Prophecies/> by [[Sarvien]], the last king of Dericost.<ref name=AlaidainsGem>2000/11 [[Should the Stars Fall]] - [[Alaidain's Gem]]</ref> In the moments before his death, Sarvien uttered this prophecy from the [[Book of Eibhil]].<ref name=HistOfAubVolI>2003/02 [[That Which Is Ours]] - [[The History of Auberean/Volume I: Empires Clashing (-30,000 to -9,000)|The History of Auberean Volume I: Empires Clashing (-30,000 to -9,000)]]</ref>. The curse outlines the [[Sendings of Darkness]].
<blockquote>
As we were sent by the Darkness
 
The Darkness shall send again
 
An avenging star
 
A light to bring darkness
 
The Darkness shall send then
 
A knowledge:
 
A power to bring destruction
 
For Alaidain's blood shall be
 
The death of the people
 
And then Darkness shall send yet again
 
And once more, and the Darkness shall win
 
-- [[Alaidain's Gem]]

== Heretical Prophecy ==
This prophecy has no official name, and is labeled heretical as Asheron wrote it would be such in the eyes of the [[Nali]].<ref name=Prophecies/> It was passed down to Asheron from his [[Maila Realaidain|mother]].<ref name=Prophecies/>
<blockquote>
As darkness draws about light
 
And all falls to ruin so shall come; the star.
 
The darkness will impart its wisdom,
 
And the Light shall lose its way.
 
And blackness shall fall across the land,
 
And the Light will be hidden above.
 
Then shall the light gain its wisdom
 
And Champion.
 
For Alaidain's blood shall be
 
The savior of the people
 
And then Darkness shall send again,
 
and be beaten
 
And so it will send again,
 
and be beaten.
 
-- [[Prophecies]]
</blockquote>

== Early Empyrean Legend ==
This tale also has no official name. This tale was told to Asheron by [[Adja]], who said that it has been passed from the earliest generations of Empyrean.<ref name=Prophecies/> This tale was not taught by the [[Northern Church]], and was also considered heresy.<ref name=Prophecies/>
<blockquote>
There was but Light and Darkness;
 
And then Auberean.
 
Darkness sought to seed Auberean
 
And climbed within the world
 
As Light created guardians,
 
And sent them to defend.
 
Guardians made war
 
Against the darkness,
 
And the darkness drew forth defenders
 
From the land
 
To stand against the light,
 
And the Light called lesser children
 
To bear itself against Darkness.
 
And then the war was won. So the Darkness lay
 
Still and silent
 
But ne'er beaten by the bringers of Light
 
And so it called its children.
 
Not to make new war,
 
But to seed the soil with new treachery.
 
And the Darkness reached out
 
And brought forth other worlds,
 
So too the Light.
 
E'er Auberean at the heart
 
Where ever shall rest the war.

== Falatacot, on the Old Ones ==

<blockquote>
Those which can eternal lie / In sleep, in dream / Should never die.
 
-- [[Aerfalle's Letter]]

<blockquote>
When soon the stars align, and dim from darkness time, then shall those who names may not be spoken, birth anew the childer, and be again awoken.
