Prophecy of the Voidwright
​
Silence calls to shadow, and shadow answers.
When the Voidwright wakes, the chains of gods will break.
​
From hollow bone the lost god stirs,
unmaking sings though the song still blurs.
Shaped by grief and tempered by pain,
he rises ever, unbound by name.
​
Two shall walk where twilight weeps,
through shattered vows and broken keeps.
Absence and night, divided yet one,
their path decides what will be done.
​
The hand that frees may also slay,Â
the dawn of hope may burn away.
Savior, destroyer — both foretold,
the choice lies heavy, the truth grows cold.
​
Yet whether the vessel conquers or falls,
the god of ruin heeds the call.
Bound or broken, he will rise,
to scorch the earth, or cleanse the skies.
​
Shadow calls to silence, and silence answers.
When the Voidwright wakes, the chains of gods will break.

The prophecy originated among the Mindborn, dragons and drakebound gifted with visions of possible futures. Passed down through dreams, trances, and scattered writings, much of it has been lost to time. What survives speaks of a Voidwright whose awakening will herald the breaking of the chains that bind the gods.
​
For centuries, scholars have disputed its meaning. Some believe it foretells the arrival of a single individual. Others argue that the Voidwright represents a recurring force, destined to emerge when the world approaches ruin.
​
The Veil of Embers considers the prophecy sacred, believing the Voidwright will serve as the vessel through which Xanthor returns. Those who oppose the Veil fear something far worse. The power to unmake existence could destroy everything they have fought to preserve.
​
The surviving fragments offer no certainty of salvation or destruction. They speak only of an awakening, the breaking of ancient chains, and a choice upon which the fate of the world may rest.
