I recall many years ago there was an epic poem or prophecy cavorting around the net. However, my google-fu has failed me, so I come to you guys for help. I can't remember many details about it other than these:

• The poem was long, covering enough material for several campaigns.
  
• It dealt, in classic prophetic fashion, with metaphors for the players and major NPCs, like "the Scion", "the Bear", "the Chosen One", though these are not exact, again, I can't remember.
  
• The underworld figured prominently, with the illithid being of particular note.
  
• Pillars of the world were also included in the imagery.

Can anyone remember such a poem, or even a poem like it?

Thanks!

Nah, it was a poem specifically designed for a DnD campaign.

Wow, that's good stuff, I wish I had half that creative power. The poem I was looking for was more description of future events, can you remember any others?

One bump before I let this die.

The only thing I else I can remember about the poem is that it was 30+ stanzas of quatrains, with the occasional 6 line stanza thrown in.
