[The Chronicler of Antediluvia:]
Long ago, before the Third Great Cataclysm reshaped the face of creation,
one nation rose
above all others in the antediluvian world... Atlantis.
[The Atlantean Quorum:]
Hear the call Atlanteans, proud we stand
forever,
Mightiest of warriors, we sail across the sea.
Conquering the ancient world, a legacy eternal,
Raise the arcane sigil
high, steel and sorcery!
Blessed with immortality, dreaming spires of majesty, glory crowns our destiny!
[The Host of
Z'xulth:]
Your realm is lost... it shall be devoured by the sea!
[The Chronicler of Antediluvia:]
And so it was written in
the stars, astride the world would stand the children
of Atlantis!
And yet disturbingly, another voice, a wholly darker and more
malevolent
presence, can be perceived lurking within the ancient body of the inscriptions,
an ominous tone which prophesizes doom
and ruination for the Atlantean realm,
speaking of a disastrous cataclysm foretold in the stars when the sun would
burn black and
the agents of some unfathomable evil would besiege Atlantis,
ultimately compelling the seas to rise and devour the continent, leaving
no
trace of the glory which once was. These passages seem to have been
deliberately obscured, and this fact combined with the
passage of countless
aeons and the embrace of the eternally shifting sands lamentably prevents me
from translating the inscriptions
on the fragment any further.
