Hello everyone,
I have recently started a campaign in which a Prophecy is a link between the players and will be used as some foreshadowing. However, my creative and poetic flair is failing me right now, so I thought perhaps some creative and poetic minds here at enworld might be willing to help.
I keep thinking something along the lines of the lyrics from Aquarius from hair:
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius
The age of Aquarius
But my players would kill me for bringing in some 60's music theme (I like it, they don't).
There are 6 PCs that need to be woven into the prophecy.
#1: Male Human: is descended from fey and most likely be a sorcerer
#2: Male Human worshipper of Mithras and most likely a paladin type
#3: Female Human Dinosaur Totem Warrior (Unearthed Arcana)
#4: Male Human, currently kidnapped by fey
#5: Male Human, Wilderness Rogue, focused on agility kinds of things
#6: Doppleganger, this traitor was revealed which steers the prophecy awry. Think of Judas as the traitor for this group
Some storylines that could be incorporated into the prophecy would be:
A demon filled meteor is going to hit outside their valley and then torment them.
Dopplegangers are moving from the Underdark to claim the surface.
Horrors from the Far Realms might invade the Dwarven city.
A Reptilian Abomination (ELH) is waiting outside the valley, deep in a swamp.
Faeries are here for some reason.
Any thoughts, ideas or suggestions would be wonderful. The Prophecy will be spoken by the village holy man and I want it to sound deep, dire and ground shaking.
Thanks for your help.

ps. I will be telling them tomorrow night (10-13) so sooner is better. Thanks again.
