Prophyra is a woman who stood on a stage in the Marketplace Area of the Hive Ward in 125 YFHR.
She shouted to the assembled crowd, predicting an upcoming event:
- "Woe be to those who listen but do not heed!
- To the mazes they shall go!
- Where the Lady's shadow falls, so do men fall!
- Five years hence! Damnation!
- The factions shall be cast out!"
Background Information[]
- Prophyra's name is similar to that of Porphyrion, a giant from Greek mythology. While Porphyrion didn't possess any prophetic powers, Prophyra's name (Proph-) suggests she has some prophetic ties.
- The Black Isle development team weren't initially aware that Planescape: Faction War
was coming, so in order to maintain the faction status quo already implemented, they set Torment five years earlier. Prophyra was the only indication of where in the timeline Torment was set.[1] - Prophyra may be a member of the Eschaton.
