Endless Chant

The Endless Chant was a recitation that was continually repeated by a select few monks of the Avowed, that echoed through the courtyard of Candlekeep throughout all hours of the day. It covered all of prophecies of the famous seer Alaundo, who inscribed his visions in the keep during the 1 century DR.

Performance
It was performed in a resounding yet monotone voice, in a procession that filled the Court of Air within the words of Alaundo. The chant was led by a member of the Avowed known as The Chanter, who was assisted by three others, the Voices of the North, East and South.

The chant was not truly "endless". As time went on, more and more of the prophecies came true and were removed from the monks' recitation.

Excerpts
Some excerpts from the Endless Chant included:
 * "A golden unicorn will travel unmolested through the length of Waterdeep."
 * "White birds shall vanish from the North, and great evil shall die and be reborn."
 * "In the Year of the Turret, a great host will come from the east like a plague of locusts."
 * "When shadows descend upon the lands, our divine lords will walk alongside us as equals."
 * "The Wyrm shall wander the earth and such a pestilence will follow in his wake, that all that know of his passing shall be struck down by the plague."
 * "When conflict sweeps across the Dales the great lizards of the north shall descend with fire and fury."
 * "The Lord of Murder shall perish, but in his doom he will spawn a score of mortal progeny. Chaos will be sewn from their passage."
