A tale told by Bram, Yew Monk:
This very morn, I caught a glimpse of a great and noble platinum dragon spiraling down from the cloudless sky, swooping low over the city of Yew. Without a sound, it alighted atop the palisade of Empath Abbey, its claws cutting tiny holes into the stone with the most minimal force. Feeling lucky to catch sight of it, I hid myself behind the winery, both in fear of the creature and awe that I might see one. The beast raised his head to the east, focusing on a location beyond the sight of men. There was a quiet rumbling in its throat; the only outward sign of emotion in the otherwise stoic creature. What place it spied and what it felt, I knew not. Without warning, the beast abruptly turned his head, shifting his weight below him as he reached a clenched claw into the air over the Abbey door. It paused just a moment before dropping a book to the doorstep of the abbey below. I made a step forward to retrieve it, but then was taken aback as a flaming red longsword dropped from the dragon’s claw following the book. The sword pierced the ground and stood straight before me. I looked up again at the dragon, which to my shock, had its gaze turned upon me, and seemed to be quietly judging me. Then, as soundlessly as it arrived, the dragon broke its gaze, turned heavenward, and effortlessly ascended beyond my vision. Retrieving the book, I found these words written inside:
Long has Britannia been veiled in the shadows. The light of all that was good in these lands is hidden away behind the oppressive darkness, with evil’s hope that it will wither and die.
Yet the light continues to shine!
Soon the veil of shadow shall be pierced by the dawn of a new day!
Now is the time for those beloved of the light to rally along side the platinum flight!
Join my platinum brethren in our assault upon the very source of the Shadowlords’ stronghold in these lands. They are at the eve of their presumed triumph; yet the force we assemble shall shatter their grip upon this land with a strength they cannot imagine!
Come, be that strength!
-Fayaxion.
I reached my hand to take the sword, but upon touching it heard these words in my own head:
The time of heroes is at hand! Join us at Empath Abbey in Felucca at 9pm EST on Friday 9/4/09!
The importance of this message I felt was clear; and it was my duty and the duty of all others who received this message to spread the word. Now is the time when we shall change our future!
-Bram
Event begins at Felucca Empath Abbey in Yew at 9pm EST TODAY – Friday 9/4/09.
