Quills & Curiosities - Wreath of Barbs
The fall of man is inevitable...
...or so the old ones say. Like every season there must be a harvest before the cycle can begin anew.
Rumor speaks of a harbinger, a 'god' who will rise again to judge those mortal souls when the balance tips. He who will determine their worthiness and cast his verdict. Will they be allowed to press on or will they wither as all crops do at the end of their season?
Legend says that in centuries past he rose to 'judge' mankind. However mankind's greed and desire to defy the natural order led them to bind him. With magic and steel they chained the harbinger, shackled to his own halo and left him in darkness. Years went by, one after another. Decade after decade, century after century. Mankind forgot those legends, forgot its' own actions and forgot the deity it had bound so long ago.
The stories and history fell into darkness as had the harbinger himself. Belief in the old ways waned and so did the magics that bound him. Thus did tiny cracks form, wearing away at the runes on his prison until they too were little more than a faded memory. Those same cracks formed on the shackles that held him, arms locked together. The very chains holding him to his own halo weakening as time passed. As they grew weaker he waited, the ever conscious god knowing eventually his imprisonment would be over. Knowing that like the mortals who had bound him so long ago their magic would also wither and die.
He would wait then, until he was free...
