The Messenger

[Narrated] "Every cycle of the sky, when a thousand years pass, the Messenger crosses our lands. Its journey brings great upheaval, heralding the dawn of new era's. Listen, and hear of the ages that have shaped our world. [Narrated] "In the time before, all was water, with lands scattered like stars in the night sky. This was the Blue Age. Peoples of great power thrived, bending nature to their will, their island realms vast and powerful. [Instrumental Interlude] [Narrated] "Then, the Messenger stirred the world, drawing back the seas to unveil green expanses. Mighty cities rose - Tyr, Ebe, Bodach, Madoro, Balic.. Their people, even mightier, sought to bind the sun's heart at the Pristine Tower. [Musical Interlude] [Narrated] "The Age of Strife came with the Messenger's return. The ancients' ambitions twisted life itself, birthing elves, dwarves, men, and with them, monsters, elementals, gods.. Wars ignited, consuming cities and empires. [Narrated] "Tyr’s own beasts turned against it; Madoro fell to darkness in desperation; Kemolak's dwarven might was undone. From the ashes of their power, some sought sanctuary among the stars, while others perished, their knowledge buried by time, monsters, and scavengers. [Instrumental Interlude] [Narrated] "With the Messenger’s next passage, magic, raw and untamed, surged through the land. From it, sorcerers rose, defying even the gods, until after centuries of war, the very earth was left barren, the gods silenced, and sorcerer-kings crowned. [Narrated] "With the Messenger’s next passage, magic, raw and untamed, surged through the land. From it, sorcerers rose, defying even the gods, until after centuries of war, the very earth was left barren, the gods silenced, and sorcerer-kings crowned. Peace, fleeting as it was, ended when the Messenger was seen again. Power’s corruption knew no bounds. Ebe was lost to Borys' ambition, who became the Dragon... The cities fractured, some disappearing into darkness or destruction under their rulers’ hubris. [Climax] "And now, we live under their shadows, in a time where the sorcerer-kings' whims unfold over centuries, their grip ironclad. [Outro] "But the cycle turns. The Messenger... it nears once more." [Narrated] "With the Messenger's return came The Age of Strife. The ancients' ambitions twisted life itself, birthing elves, dwarves, men, and with them, elementals, monsters, gods.. Wars ignited, consuming cities and empires." [Narrated] "Tier’s own beasts turned against it; Madoro fell to darkness; Kemolak's dwarven might was undone. From the ashes of their power, some sought sanctuary among the stars, while others perished, their knowledge buried by time, monsters, and scavengers."
