As the Union grappled with the fallout from the Battle of the Eternal Storm, they encountered a new and unexpected complication—ancient prophecies that seemed to predict their arrival and the consequences of their actions. These prophecies were found in various ruins and texts scattered across Terra Novum, often inscribed in arcane languages and guarded by powerful wards.
The Union's scholars and mages worked tirelessly to decipher these texts, uncovering predictions of a great upheaval and a cosmic balance that would be disrupted by the arrival of beings from another world. The prophecies spoke of an era of conflict, the awakening of ancient forces, and the rise of new powers.
One prophecy in particular caught the Union's attention. It foretold the coming of a "Great Convergence," a cosmic event that would align the energies of Terra Novum with those of other realms, creating a bridge between worlds and unleashing unimaginable power. The prophecy hinted that this event could either be a boon or a disaster, depending on how the conflict was resolved.
The revelations from these prophecies had a profound impact on the Union's leadership. Some saw them as a sign that their actions were part of a larger cosmic plan, while others viewed them as a warning of impending doom. The prophecies fueled a growing sense of urgency and uncertainty among the Union's ranks.
Meanwhile, the Keepers of the Veil seized on the prophecies to rally support for their cause. They used the prophecies to argue that the Union's presence was a threat to the natural order and that their actions would bring about catastrophic consequences. The Keepers spread their message through the kingdoms, using the prophecies to inspire resistance and unite disparate factions against the invaders.
The prophecies became a central theme in the ongoing conflict, influencing both the Union's strategies and the motivations of Terra Novum's inhabitants. The Union's leaders faced the daunting task of navigating these ancient predictions while trying to achieve their goals and manage the growing resistance.
