Hyskosa's Hexad is a sequence of six signs that heralded the coming of the Grand Conjunction, as foreseen by the Dukkar, Hyskosa. The signs are foretold in a series of rhyming couplets:


(introduction)

The night of evil shall descend on the land.
When this hexad of signs is near at hand

(First Sign)

In the house of Daegon the sorcerer born,
Though life, unlife, unliving shall scorn.

(Second Sign)

The lifeless child of stern mother found
Heralds a time, night of evil unbound

(Third Sign)

Seventh time the son of suns doth rise
To send the knave to an eternity of cries.

(Fourth Sign)

The light of the sky shining over the dead
Shall gutter and fail, turning all to red

(Fifth Sign)

Inajira will make his fortunes reverse
Dooming all to live with the dreaded curse

(Sixth Sign)

The bodiless shall journey to the time before
Where happiness to hate creates land and lore.

Because Azalin forced the last two signs in the incorrect order, the conjunction collapsed. The hexad is recorded on the Hyskosa Scroll.
