The Emberwake Prophecy

Copied from the ash-hide folio in Morwen's pack. Original hand is priestly Channeling script; later glosses in a sharper Essence hand.

When the waystone drinks the last star,
the vale will remember fire.
Four walk the road that is not a road.
One carries. One watches. One names. One steals the hour.

The cult of the Ashen Star reads this as a summons. The paladins of the old road read it as a warning. Neither agrees what “drinks” means.

Morwen's note in the margin: the tablet is not a key. It is a mouth.
