A Prophecy of War & Treason

[Smiling River]

Found only in Little Ala Mhigo.

 

 

 

A Poetâs Dream

The dream of a poet on rainy Summer noon,

Of a white fountain in the castle's shadow

And a prophet of Byregot crying "He'll come soon!"

As the foreign neighbor nocks the arrow.

 

Did you hear that dream barely told

Of an Oath, Eorzea is bound to hold?

In the hollow depths which some call home,

The Oath echoes in an ancient tome.

 

Ul'dah with her thieves a hoard.

Limsa and her pirate hosts.

Gridania and her forest ghosts.

Ishgard with her gates a board.

 

When the arrow falls from the sky,

Alone or together will they defy?
