I posted this in a different thread, but nobody has posted a reply, so I thought I would try this. In the Spire of Long Shadows the PCs recieve a whole bunch of visions about Dungeon adventures that the players might have played in. Unfortunately for ME, I haven't run them through any of these and don't really plan to in the foreseeable future. So here's the crux of the problem...
What can I use as the prophecies leading up to the Age of Worms that are specifically Eberron related and will still sound cryptic? I was able to come up with a few:
The child of fortunes shall speak for those long gone. (Jaela Daran assumes the role of the Keeper of the Flame in Thrane)
The race without freedom shall be given it, yet give themselves back to servitude. (Warforged are given their rights as citizens but start following the Lord of Blades)
The clear spire shall rain down upon the knife. (The Glass Tower of Sharn is destroyed by sabotuers and much goes into the Dagger)
A single stone shall send the frozen lands into madness. (The Madstone in Karrnath creates havoc among the northern forest with no predictable end in sight)
A land that reached for the stars shall be brought to it's knees. (Cyre, the shining jewel of Galifar, is destroyed on the Day of Mourning, 20th Olarune 994YK)
So please tell me what you think, and what else I could add.
I don't like Eberron, but I have read the setting a lot and these prophecies are superb! I had to do the same thing, making new prophecies for my home game. I did some for a few Dungeon Adventures I ran as well as some Campaign events unique to my game.
Good job, I especially like the one about The Lord Of Blades (Coolest NPC in Eberron).
Perhaps some mention of The Lords of Dust trying to be freed is in order? Though that may give some info away if your using the Eberron conversion to the letter.
