The Birth of a Saviour

I believe in the prophecy of a saviour, however, I am unsure how it will be possible for someone to be infused with all the different magical energies. In order to have that, they need to be born of with them all. I can see no plausible way for that to happen.
— Sebastian to Sergei 1180 oto.

Summary

In a time of turmoil
under a double eclipse
one will be born from the soil
a being within whom all magics mix
  They will rise to fight
drenched in blood
to return us to a way that is right
and to staunch the flood
  War and strife
abounds in the land
they fight for life
so all may stand
  None will see
all will lose
who it shall be
will end all coups
  A small youngling
will become the one
who while in life
seems to be bungling
will rise with the return of the sun
and the lonesome sound of a quiet fife
  Many will fall
and many will rise
those with the gall
will suffer their lies
  Wars begun will all soon cease
when the leader of order,
the demander of peace
walks death's border
wearing the caul
and robes of strength
will bring the downfall
of corruption at length.
— The Prophecy by Seer Ava

Historical Basis

When Seer Ava made her prophecy, none paid much attention to her. In the last few years members of the different nations have been looking for the prophecy. With the dragons becoming more hostile toward the Druid Order and the whisperings of war, many were looking for a saviour.

Cultural Reception

The fae believe they are the ones to give rise to the prophecy. The dragons are looking at the eldritch for their saviour. Herigmark, Thormalk, and Gaullium are watching for the portents in which the saviour will arise so they can stand behind them. Shay and Craglim Reach believe they can prevent the prophecy from coming true.

In Literature

The last century has seen an increase in poems about the prophecy. In many of the poems the hero is human, however, there are some which a dragon is the hero. One story covers the seer giving the prophecy. Ava was a dragon born during the Unending War. The story states her prophecy was a result of the trauma she suffered in the previous years.
