And everyone sleeps, and Armok stnads forth, and sends a vision in
your dream...
And you see the Snarecrevice City, as it grows and grows. You see
Bloodhand die, and his line continue through his son. You see his
son die, and his three sons vie for power, only stopped by Ta'hath.
You see king after king after king, born, and die. You see libraries
built, observatories, all made and built as the goblins grow in
intellect. Great minds of goblins are made. You see new Goblin
cities appear, all growing near the mountain home. You see
Cavernhall, great city under the deep, glistening in the creations
of another god. Invasions and attacks, glimpses of wars you see: you
see a mountainous rock golem strike at the walls, you see a dragon-
like beast pack invade the Cavernhall, you see a wave of spiders,
riding forth, two huge beasts at their front. Most attacks are
beaten back, but some cities are lost forever. You see the Ta'hath,
Blessed One, who is now old. Older than many. He now leads the
Snarecrevice's religion: praying, sacrificing, and praising his god.
Only one goblin does not follow the religion, one older than all
other beings, other than the gods themselves...
And you see the Wise One. Old, he has searched the planet. Each
year, he returns to his god's springs. You see glimpses of his time:
from him sipping from the Healing Springs, to him beating back
spiders great, to him stealing an egg from the Shaluri beasts, to
him sneaking into the Snarecrevice city. Long, he has watched
others, and observed. His home, even though he wanders, resides in
the Feather Tree, high above the brances. There, he collects, and
has a collection of books and scrolls, of weapons and stones. And
you see a final glimpse, of him filling a vile, a green liquid
pouring in. You feel something becoming of this, but Armok turns
your attention elsewhere...
And you see the Shaluri, now with a cavern town of their own. Many
of their children inhabit the many caves and caverns, spanning
endless distances throughout the mountains. Some lead to the goblin
kingdom, some lead near the Great Tree. The Shaluri have smoothed
caverns, and traps and doors. They use iron weapons, and yet wear no
armor. A single city on the surface they dwell, a goblin city, taken
when it the greenskins came too close to the Shaluri caves. You
glimpse through their history in your slumber: you see three great
mountain beasts attack, killing many. Two are felled by trap and
rope, yet one gets away, creating a great toll of casualties; you
see the goblins, surprised as the beasts break the earth below them,
killing them quick. The Shaluri have no government, and their
religion is little more than ancestor worship.
And you see the Rock Golems, out for blood. They wander and rampage
and kill. You see a battle at a stone city, and dozens of arrows
bouncing from their skin. You see a golem destroying a group of
chalri, and a brif flash of a golem disapearing under the springs,
and not coming back... You see a net, flying and swooping, before
being crushed under a giant golem. The remaining five still wander
the Venom planet, killing and raging.
And you see the Chalri and Ganru, the cats and deer of the lands.
There is another Ganru species, who have fully developed horns, a
defensive ability gained from them. Another, with shorter horns,
roam the land, but in fewer number. The Chalri have not changed, as
they are still the lead predators other than the Goblins and
Shaluri.
And you see the Guardian Champion of the Rift. He is older then
most, and still guards the rift between the worlds. You see the land
around it, with plants snapping and biting. You see a wolfman pack,
leading to go through the rift. You see many skulls now, littering
the ground. And you see the Wise One, entering the rift unhindered.
And then you see the Blackfur tribe, and the Great Muskox. Long have
you seen them, and long have they come. Now, the wolfmen hunt no
more:they have captured all of the muskox, and now breed and
slaughter them. you see how they have forgotten the Hunt, with only
one remembering...You glimpse The Butcher, who kills the musk ox for
the tribe settlement. You see his past, as the seventh son of the
seventh son of the original Alpha, when the Hunt was remembered. He
now leads the Pack.
And then you glimpse something that you hadn't seen: a glimpse of
the future perhaps. You see the great city of Snarecrevice, dead and
littered with bodies unscathed in the open; you see wolfmen, hunting
and being hunted by Shaluri; you see the throne room of
Snarecrevice, a single, maniacle greenskinned figure, laughing as
you see the body of the king; you see the Feather Tree, oozing with
poison, sinking lower into the spring. Armok then awakens you, with
a warning of what is to come.
"Awaken now, my blood children. For a time of great reckoning is
upon you. These worlds are set soon upon a blaze which will destroy
all."
You awake, and the first movement is the cracking of an egg.
