Te'pi

The Te'pi, meaning "foretelling", is the first prophecy ever created, and was foretold by the Goddess. This prophecy was passed on for generations through seers and was unknown to any other raptor in the Land until Dirgen, the High Priest of the kingdom of Aisith, revealed it to Laat and his fellowship, believing Laat to be the Savior mentioned in the Te'pi. Each falcon, hawk and eagle mentioned in the Te'pi was not called by name, but called by a title associated with each raptor.

The Protector
The Savior is a title given to Laat of Gyr, the second White King. The Savior's duty was to relinquish the power of the Usurper to the raptors who believed in the Goddess, and return the Goddess to the Land.

The Guardian
The Guardian is a title given to Nerea of Elemere, the first White Queen. The Guardian's duty was to protect the Savior and give him council when he was blinded with rage and righteousness. The Guardian, according to Sheer, could NOT be male.

The Companion
The Companion was a title given to Liel of Gyr. The Companion is the only raptor in the Te'pi prophesized to die. The Companion's duty was to stand beside the Savior and channel his will to others who followed him. The Companion was to die at the claws of the Usurper and tie the Savior and the Usurper together, although Laat and Deucan were already tied by familial ties.

The Warrior
The Warrior - given to King Scald of Alyetheia. The Warrior's duty was to stand beside the Savior and the Guardian and fight for the Goddess's return without mercy.

The Seer
The Seer is a title given to Dirgen of Aisith. The Seer's duty was to receive the prophecy and spread it to those that it applied to. Only the Seer as mentioned in the Te'pi would know which raptors were part of it; thus, while other seers and priests in history knew and passed on the prophecy, the knowledge was considered useless until it came into the talons of the Seer himself.

The Usurper
The Ursurper is a title given to Deucan of Gyr. The Usurper's duty was to wrongfully take the throne of Gyr and extend his powers to the other kingdoms of the Land, relinquishing the Goddess's power and making it his own. The Usurper was prophesized to kill the Companion, tying him to the Savior.

The Changeling
The Changeling is a title given to Aa'yala of the Isle of Hart. The Changeling's duty was to masquerade as the Goddess and oust the nonbelievers from the Land. It was said that the Changeling would be possessed by the Goddess during this duty and would give her followers new law.

The Bringer
The Bringer is a title given to Saygar of Gyr. Although it was not revealed in the first novel that such a name existed, when Saygar reached the Mountain of Tor in the Other, Sheer and Screech gave him that title, claiming that he was the end to the prophecy. The Bringer's duty was to unite the Other and the Land together, ending the animosity that had existed between the two for nearly a thousand years.
