The Stranger
These are the words of the prophecy called "The Stranger"

See the decoded version of the Package for Caius Cosades for commentary about these verses.


[These are the words of the prophecy called "The Stranger." I wrote them down as she spoke them to me.]


When earth is sundered, and skies choked black,
And sleepers serve the seven curses,
To the hearth there comes a stranger,
Journeyed far 'neath moon and star.


Though stark-born to sire uncertain,
His aspect marks his certain fate.
Wicked stalk him, righteous curse him.
Prophets speak, but all deny.


Many trials make manifest
The stranger's fate, the curses' bane.
Many touchstones try the stranger.
Many fall, but one remains.
