History

This is history, dating from the Breaking. As there were a number of different timelines, it's been written all together, with the normal names of the timelines, but in order.

And it came to pass in those days, as it had come before and would come again, that the Dark lay heavy on the land and weighted down the hearts of men, and the green things failed, and hope died. And men cried out to the Creator, saying O Light of the Heavens, Light of the World, let the Promised One be born of the mountain, according to the prophecies, as was in ages past and will be in ages to come. Let the Prince of the Morning sing to the land that green things will grown and the valleys give forth lambs. Let the arm of the Lord of the Dawm shelter us from the Dark, and the great sword of justice defend us. Let the Dragon ride again on the winds of Time.

From Charal Drianaan te Calamon,
The Cycle of the Dragon.
Author Unknown, the Fourth Age
