## The Final Prophecy

"The Final Prophecy" is the fifth episode to The Chronicles of Sunder: Ironspire. It was released on 16 Ocotber 2021 and is narrated by Jazza.

## Episode Synopsis

Katalina is hiding in the house of the fortune teller, when she suddenly hears a voice speak, about a rise that is to begin in Sunder. Katalina shows herself to Elsbeth, who reads her fortune very poorly, and believes that therefore she has no magic. Before she leaves, Katalina advices her to stay inside, avoiding any trouble.

Delvin, Brick and a very happy Madaela arrive back at the inn and meet up with Katalina. The inn is very busy, but there is a table reserved for them thanks to Delvin. They have some drinks and dinner. Delvin meets a linen trader and makes arrangements for Lernen and his son Eden to travel with him safely to the Barrows. Brick spots the Gray Guard enjoying their night, who seem quite friendly, along with the guard who was questioning Elsbeth.

Two Thunissian men are playing music for the patrons, and Katalina introduces herself. They tell her that there is a girl who showed her magical abilities to the guards, and that she stays at the other inn. Delvin gets her name, but they decide there is nothing they can do for her since she volunteered and they can’t save everyone.

During the evening, Brick dances with another lady, much to Madaela’s amusement. Sometime later the blacksmith arrives and recognizes Madaela, and Katalina takes her quickly upstairs. Clearly drunk, he accuses Delvin of fraternizing with outsiders, but leaves eventually. Delvin talks to Brick that he should learn how to make decisions to protect Madaela, which sometimes means disobeying her direct orders.

Katalina writes her mother a letter about a girl who is entering Ironspire, and heads of to bed.

The next day, around noon, Katalina seems some commotion happening outside. Locals are shrieking at a Gray Guard, saying that he murdered Elsbeth. She also gets a memory of a figure on the rooftops, a cat. Katalina tries to calm down the people with her magic, but uses all of her ability and feels very empty inside. She leaves the Gray Guard at the inn and gets the group together, quickly leaving the town of Felbrook.

## The Prophecy

“Harken! Onto the final prophesy! On this, my dying sunset. Here head my words, Tamer of Hearts, that you may lift the souls of the broken; that they may rise up against the gathering powers of those that conspire with watchful eyes! The shards of Sunder stir in their sleep. And shall shatter and awaken as the bonds of old. The shards you carry, the souls that yearn for freedom, shall break also. But with them; the knowledge of the birth of a new age of power shall be known! And the heart of the sparrow that follows be known also. The crowns shall be consumed by the fury of their own flames as a new war is ushered in with the rise of the blood moon! Only then, will the bonds be brought to balance and the true power within Ironspire be freed!”
