Instead of just seeing a verse on paper, prophecies have a much more interesting effect if the delivery is a little odd. There's are a <a href="http://home.comcast.net/~dorian.hart/archives.html" target="_blank">bunch of examples</a> from Sagiro's game, but one I really love.--- o ---On Venic Giants (from The Gleanings of Romus the Mad, written in an increasingly unsteady hand):Th' Venic Giant wyl begyn t' wayke when th' sun oe'r hed dost wynk at th' city o' Ganit Tuvith, o' th' edge o' a grayte bowl o' dust. Seven moons wyl ryse, an' seven moons wyl set, an' th' morn ayftr, those that look wyl see th' grayte Venic tortoise plod th' streets o' Tuvith. As th' Stormknyghts wyl hayte th' creature, three o' their number wyl smyte th' beest, an' rytely so; for if the turtle is allow'd t' live, it wyl call t' its kyn, an' wayke an army o' turtles to conquer the kingdom. Gods help us then! The Turtle Army! Verily It Wyl Sweep Cross Th' Land, ARMOR-PLAYTED AN' STONY-EYED, AN' WHO IN HYS RYTE MYND WOOLD NO' FLEE FROM SUCH MYTE! RYVYRS WOOOLD FLO' WITH TURTLES, YE GODS HELP US, AND VERILY WOOLD THEY DANCEONMYEHEAD!!!Heavyns, I Need MyElyxyr, my poor hed--- o ---Best. Prophecy. Ever.</blockquote>
