Kingmaker:Reem's Prophecy
I. Weapons
Reem beheld a mace and a dagger bound together at their ends
A fine, glorious mace of adamantine and a jagged dagger of bone
The mace was held by a mortal in godly mien,
And the dagger was held by a god in mortal mien.
Reem saw one among fairies with a head like gold
Heart like the sharpest blade
He saw a face that brought tears of blood and made men vomit
And heard words that could harm the strongest men
They knew his face
And would not give him the weapons he needed
The weapons of flesh must be taken by force or deception
If the temple is to be brought up
II. The Beast's War
Reem saw world below spread out before him
Two great armies clashed
And a greater army rose
But a beast arose and the great army trembled
The great beast since forth a lesser beast
And a beast greater still at its heels
The great beast was burned
And a forgotten beast rose from its ashes
And the land blossomed and grew,
The blossoms were plucked and the grass withered
Fire rained from the sky and the earth burst
And a woman held her two children and wept
"My sons, my sons!
Could you not see you were brothers?"
The brothers were wounded
And one breathed upon the other and fell forever silent
III. A Triumph
And the castle was raised
And the tower was raised
And the temple was raised
And the conquered palace fell
And by mace and blade and fire and water
The high lord was slain
