This is a piece of fiction that was written as the prelude to Tribes 2, a game developped by Dynamix, a branch of the Sierra corporation.
Written by Blake Hutchins, Prophecy of Tears tells of the events that culminate and lead into Tribes 2's storyline.
This was orginally hosted on Sierra's Tribes 2 Website, and was published in an interesting format. Each chapter of the story contains multiple pages, which the reader has access to through hyperlinks in the story's text.
I have created this archived copy for my own purposes.
