"One Year. At the Door." - Darktongue Messages
After their second encounter with the strange being from the coffin (which the party encountered while exploring the ruins of Solaris), the party awoke on the 40th of Spring to find that messages-- all in Darktongue-- had been carved above their bunks on the ship that had carried them to their expedition. Oliver, and later Claudia D'hal (with magical assistance) translated these messages; the first lines of each were unique to each party member:
The Hand holds the heart's desire. (Oliver)
The ears speak truth to truthless tongue. (Fantasia)
The head dreams of the mind. (River)
The skull hears cry the Eye. (Lucretia)
The skin the flower, the crown the thorns. (Clarissa)
The wing cannot beat beneath the blood. (Aurelia)
The second and final line of each message was the same: One Year. At the Door.
Per Professor D'hal and other members of the staff, there was no lingering magic or presences on the ship that morning-- which perhaps makes the messages all the more ominous.
