The Book of Ages is a set of prophecy books in Ardon that's mentioned in Crusaders of Might and Magic. It was written centuries before the events of the game, and predicted the rise of Necros, the Legion of the Fallen, and the coming of a scarred hero. Nomandi believed that the "Scarred One" was Drake, and took the young man as his apprentice to prepare him for his future. Drake couldn't see himself as a hero of prophecy, but Nomandi told him that "though you may not wish to believe it, you are now in the hands of a destiny that has been written into the stars for aeons."
