{{quote|The love of men is a frigid thing, a mountain stream only three steps from the ice. We are his. Oh Stormfather... we are his.

Note: At our best guess, this came exactly 1229 days before the advent of the Everstorm. It's possible that the prophecies themselves are less than fully accurate, or that whoever gave this death rattle valued poetry over technically accurate detail or, given the specific phrasing, that this was perhaps a foreshadow to a time 229 days in the future when someone else would prophecy that it would be 1000 days until the Everstorm.
