[QUOTE="Sagiro, post: 6331071, member: 726"] A quick summary of the Prophecy of the Croaking Oracle: [i]One brings many, flame’s design. One does also, all malign. One trip started, one trip done. One loves all, and one hates one.[/i] This entire verse is about Peralta and Galdifain. Peralta "brings many, flame's design" -- referring to Kay, Yoba, Ox et al. "One does also, all malign" is Galdifain bringing forth summoned monsters -- all malign -- to attack Dranko. "One trip started, one trip done." The journey of Peralta's Heroes(tm) had started; Peralta was working on the rituals that would eventually allow her heroes to join the Company. Galdifain's trip was done at that point. She was already in the Underdark, summoning her monsters to find and accost Dranko. "One loves all, and one hates one." Peralta loves the whole Company; the collectively rescued her from Het Branoi. Galdifain only hates Dranko, him having become the living symbol of her torment. [i]Three are bringing, now in place. Three have won the downward race. Seven haste, and roll the dice, Spun by fortune’s sacrifice.[/i] The Three are, obviously, Seven Dark Words, Meledien and Tarsos. And the Seven are the Company, riding the wave of luck engendered by Corilayna's sacrifice. [i]Four are needed, ‘fore the end. One to take the shell and rend. One for what is in his head. One to channel what makes dead.[/i] Kibi, Dranko and Aravis in that order. [i]One at last, but not yet known. One forever dead as stone. One to drive the spike clean through. One to die, and hope renew.[/i] Turned out to be Grey Wolf, who sacrificed himself in stabbing the Adversary through the heart with the [i]Watcher's Kiss[/i]. [i]One last journey then to make. One last prison bar to break. One last thread of fate to pull. One last circle to come full.[/i] This refers to the rescue of Abernathy, though one could argue that the "last circle to come full" is Kibi telling Abernathy which heroes he should summon to his tower.
