Text §

Quote

When the home of the living god is completed,

When the son kills his mother without soul,

When lord flees home to become king in his own name,

Sazzleru’s spark shall be reborn.

Summary §

The prophecy’s name references an Ashavan priest Sazzleru, who defeated the demon Uvaglor but who has otherwise fallen out of memory.

The prophecy identifies a specific time span: the year 4672 AR.

• The temple to Razmir in Thronestep was completed
• Antoninus Thrune murdered & succeeded his mother Abrogail Thrune I
• Drellis Artume flees Andoran and forms the kingdom of Artume

In this year, Sazzleru or followers of Sazzleru will be reborn. 4672 is the same year that Mina was born.

    • Chopper’s Island, talked about Pazuzu/Lamashtu, unholy child Uvaglor
  • Uvaglor was put away by a priest of Ashava: Sazzleru
  • Someone tried to build a statue to Sazzleru in Magnimar?
  • Not very many people remember Sazzleru
  • After she sealed Uvaglor, there are not further stories
• HOME, LIVING GOD, COMPLETED
  • Living God == Razmir?
    • Thronestep, capital of Razmiran
    • Razmir calls himself the living god
    • Desert nation, far away

Solo §

• “When the home of the living god is completed”
  • Living god? Is this a title of a god we should know?
  • Home == Temple?
• “When the son kills his mother without soul”
  • Does “without soul” mean:
    • The act of killing was done without soul, or,
    • The mother is without soul?
  • What son? What mother?
    • Known son/mother combination Worm + possibly(Isolt ApBlanc)?
• “When lord flees home to become king in his own name”
• “Sazzleru’s spark shall be reborn”
  • Have we ever heard of this name?
  • Spark? Lightning?

When a temple to a certain god is finished, a son kills a mother, and a lord declares himself a king… Something will happen…
