And so it was written, in prophesies told....

...and the earth shall thunder with destruction. The evil will arise from below and the seven cities will fall. Hope will be lost and mankind will falter in the most dire hour. The Dark Havens will flourish with the terror of ages. The skies will darken and the ground will scorch. All will be lost...

(The prophecy of the Dread lord 174 TR, 1033)

...from beyond hope when all is thought lost, men will come. The awakening will bring their brilliance to bear in the war against the Dark Lord. Evil will flee in terror at their wrath. They will deliver the earth to mankind with fire and furious retribution. When the earth flows deep in blood, then man will be saved. When they come, know their name, for they are The BRETHREN...

(The prophecy of the Awakening 175 TR, 1035)
