The Muted Tone: "When the First Spire loses pitch..." This refers to the secret decay of the giant celestial-silver tuning forks inside the capital city of Aephos. The ambient music of the world is souring, causing the toxic lower mist to slowly crawl up the mountains.
The Fall of the High-Born: "The golden wings shall falter..." A warning that the ruling Sirin caste will lose their divine right to fly and govern. Many believe a widespread, magical sickness will soon rot the feathers of the aristocracy.
The Grounded Hero: "A child of stone, with silent breath..." This foretells the arrival of a hero from The Grounded (non-flying races). "Silent breath" implies someone who either cannot sing or someone associated with the sign-language zealots of Vesper’s Echo.
The Rising Tide: "And call the drowned world from the deep..." The most terrifying part of the prophecy. It claims the hero will not save the floating mountain cities, but will instead purposefully clear the toxic mist to unleash the forgotten, monstrous civilizations trapped on the prehistoric Sunken Floor below.
