Marcia Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 (edited) Hello all, As many others, I've been playing Fates and decided to go through things in the My Castle feature. I found the ancient texts section quite intriguing so I've decided to slowly decipher them as I go along and post the result for those interested. Ancient texts are now all translated. Thanks to MOOMANiBE for providing their complete translations and warning of spoilers in the bloodline 2 text. -------------------- No.000 Poem A dragon neither white nor black Saw his future self As no more than a caged beast A dragon neither white nor black Sang three songs of prophecy So someday his soul might be released No.001 Prophecy of Sky In the white light A hand reaches through A double edged blade Cuts your heart in two Waking dreams fade away Embrace the brand new day No.002 Prophecy of Land Embrace the dark you call a home Gaze upon an empty white throne A legacy of lies a familiar disguise No.003 Prophecy of Depths A burdened heart sinks into the ground A veil falls away without a sound Not day nor night wrong nor right for truth and peace we fight No.004 Dragons & People I Once dragons fought against each other using humans as pawns They empowered their pawns with drops of their own blood In time the dragonblooded humans became royalty even as the dragons descended into beasthood No.005 Dragons & People II To escape madness the dragons threw off their mortal flesh and became ascended spirits They left the world to humanity except for the few dragons who chose to remain No.006 Bloodline 1 The white princes and princesses are born of Sumeragi and Ikona the black princes and princesses are born of Garon the first prince with Katerina the first princess with a concubine the second prince with yet another the second princess with another still No.007 Bloodline 2 **contains major spoilers** The child of light kidnapped in the dark is not of nohr blood nor a child of the hoshidan king The child was born of the white queen and silent dragon Anankos is the true father No.008 Monument a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z Edited February 22, 2016 by Marcia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Good luck! I don't want to spoil it, but you can also read the text from the dumped game files ^^ I find Dragons & People I and II quite intriguing. Thanks! I didn't even think of that! I do really enjoy puzzles though so this was fun to translate. I do agree Dragon & People I & II was very interesting. Just finished translating them all myself. Here you go! Please note that Bloodline 2 contains major spoilers. Thanks so much for your translations and huge thanks for letting me know about spoilers in Bloodline 2.

Mister Marlowe Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Fascinating. I have a feeling that the Prophecies of Sky, Land, and Depths refer to events in Birthright, Conquest, and Revelations, respectively...but that's just guessing over vague descriptions. Thank you very much for these translations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scrub_Lord Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) How interesting. Thank you for your hard work. Edited February 22, 2016 by scrub_Lord Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NekoKnight Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 Dragons and People is quite interesting. I'd like to read a story/play a game on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
warchiefwilliams Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 (edited) Huh, the headcanon religion that I was working on developing for the world of fates and my fanfics was more accurate than I thought...

Phoenix Rain Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 wow. This was very interesting. I was also wondering where people got the name Ikona too for the Hishidin's actual mother. I also didn't know about the children of Nohr. Thank you so much for taking the time to translate these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
