And the Shadow fell upon the Land, and the World was riven stone from stone. The oceans

fled, and the mountains were swallowed up, and the nations were scattered to the eight corners of

the World. The moon was as blood, and the sun was as ashes. The seas boiled, and the living

envied the dead. All was shattered, and all but memory lost, and one memory above all others, of

him who brought the Shadow and the Breaking of the World. And him they named Dragon.

(from

Aleth nin Taerin alta Camora

The Breaking of the World.

Author unknown, the Fourth Age)

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 weighed 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 he 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

grow and the valleys give forth lambs. Let the arm of the Lord of the Dawn 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 to Calamon,

The Cycle of the Dragon.

Author unknown, the Fourth Age)
