I did a whole annotation of this but I'll try to type it out here.
"In the summer of the winter storm" - most likely referring to Fimbulvetr, the three year long winter that is said to precede Ragnarok. The first year is where everyone starves, the second year is when 'brother turns against brother' in desperation for food and all men turn against eachother, and the third year is the wolf year where the wolves eat the corpses of the dead and pick off anyone who might have survived. It may not work exactly like that but it's what I recall from the books I've read.
"The chains will be remade and worn" - Remade could imply a reforging of the originals or chains made from completely new materials. There are at least 3 major mythological figures from the main pantheons who have been chained: Prometheus, Loki, and his son Fenrir. Prometheus, as most of us know, was chained to a rock for giving fire to humans and every day his liver is torn out and eaten by an eagle. Loki was chained to a rock with as punishment for killing Baldur. If i correctly recall, it was Skadi who hung a venomous serpent above his head to drip poison onto his face. His son Fenrir is a giant wolf bound by the chain Gleipnir, dwarven made and forged with " the sound of a cat’s footsteps, the beard of a woman, the roots of stones, the breath of a fish, and the spittle of a bird – in other words, things which don’t exist, and against which it’s therefore futile to struggle," (Norse Mythology for Smart People). In Ragnarock, all bonds will be broken, leaving the wolf free to eat the Allfather Odin.
"The blind will lead the blind to war" - Probably a reference to the seer's plague, the currents dysfunction of sensory abilities, and the political upheaval in Roekron. Blind could be a synonym for " ignorant", " oblivious", " foolish", ect. that sort of thing.
"A sight of worlds seen by us no more" - I get the sense this is referring to the Eye of the World. We did some research and theorizing last month in SF JL
" We are the unmakers and the weapons at rest" - I'd like to refer to this passage I found in a chronicle, "Where do gods come from?/ Of their birth no one is sure/ We know they cannot die/ But what if they never were!
" (taken from
Kim's Chronicle) the un making of the gods, who knows? It could also be referring to the whole seers situation.
"We are the plan to put the fates to the test" - who is this " WE"? I'm seeing a lot of mentioning of a plan in Kim's 2010 chronicles "There was a plan/Those of those who made the plan /No longer agree with the plan,"

"There is no place safe from the mind" - I found this which could be related:"There is no lock strong enough/No location safe enough/No key clever enough to foil the enemies/Then the lock of the mind/Location of the self/Key of the imagination/Only those who hold the lock and the key/Can open that which is hidden in plain sight
" Dear Kim, thank you for having such detailed accounts of prophecies, songs, ect in your chronicles. <3 Read more:
fantasywarplay.proboards.com/thread/45/kims-chronicles-roekron#ixzz3oUzYfVus"Better to have died early as our sisters did" - Sisters could refer to a few things: other priestesses of the EG, the Fates (both Norse and Greek), the Seven Sisters mentioned
here ( possibly referring to
the Pleiades), that whole thing with the 3 unicorns/demons/.ect (
)
"Better to have faced the doom then to have hid" - implying that they faced " the doom", whatever the doom is? Death? The seer possession? face Ragnarok?
"Did you hear the bitter patter of rain in the dark" - okay, raining at night... maybe something to do with storms and other storm related things
"Did you sing to the soul and find not a spark" - the singing haunt, specifically for my character she can't sing to Identify things anymore
"Have you called to the mighty and felt not a word" - Divine influence being cut off on the Illionass Plateau, " felt not a word"= Elder Sorcery?
"Have you whispered for mercy and know nothing is heard" - foreshadowing that Divine Intervention could stop being a thing
"Then you have tasted the sand of our plight and tremble to see" - sand is dry, it represents drought, a lack of fertility, ect. " Tremble" = earthquake
"What doom descends unheard and unfelt when fate is as blind as we" - In Greek Mythology, the fates DID share a single eye between the three of them, Eye of the World, you get the idea... the doom could be a curse of some kind, an anti-blessing from the Dagde- I mean Danishmar? The dysfunction of sensory abilities again?
