I agree with most of it, and where I disagree I can certainly see how it turn out the way you interpreted it. Good job.
Lo, it shall come upon the world that the prison of the Greatest One shall grow weak, like the limbs of those who crafted it.
Could be as literal as you think but I wouldn't be surprised if it was figurative with a LTT, Aes Sedai, channeler point of view.
The rebellious nations shall be laid barren, their children caused to weep.
In addition to what you wrote it is probably a foreshadowing to what will happen if the Shadow is victorious.
There shall be none but Him, and those who have turned their eyes to His majesty.
Spoils go to the victor and his allies.
In that day, when the One-Eyed Fool travels the halls of mourning,
Halls of Mourning = the Ways? I don't really know how though. Or it could be what you wrote concerning the 'Finns. And yeah One-Eye must be Mat.
and the First Among Vermin lifts his hand to bring freedom to Him who will Destroy,
Much as you write First Among Vermin is a direct link to First Among Servants. So Rand will break the Seals.
the last days of the Fallen Blacksmith's pride shall come.
And since we're continuing with the ta'veren trifecta this must be Perrin. But what exactly his 'pride' is I can't be sure of. His new-found 'nobility'? He's certainly proud of Faile. Could have something to do with the wolves certainly. This one is the more difficult out of the 3 to interpret/predict I think.
Yea, and the Broken Wolf, the one whom Death has known, shall fall and be consumed by the Midnight Towers. And his destruction shall bring fear and sorrow to the hearts of men, and shall shake their very will itself.
Here's the problem for me... the one main character to be referred to as a blacksmith is Perrin. But he is also the one that is most tightly linked to the wolves. So the Fallen Blacksmith and the Broken Wolf could be one and the same. Moridin even refers to him as the 'wolf'. And his death will certainly result in the things mentioned. I've read that some think that it isn't Perrin because no one else is referred to with two titles in this prophecy. But maybe in this prophecy, Perrin is the main character? Ituralde isn't broken anymore - he found his liege. The Hopper angle works but I doubt it is him mainly because the rest of the prophecy is too broad. Rand doesn't really work for me with this one. However if you combine Rand, Perrin and Mat into one gigantic one-eyed, one-armed monster with a wolf-head then it works... Aginor would have a field day.
And then, shall the Lord of the Evening come.
This seems straightforward enough. Lord of the Morning, Lord of the Evening. There's plenty of examples that Moridin likes to emphasize the 'two champions' and this is likely another one. Could even be an addition by Ishamael/Moridin to show his own importance. If the Light's Prophecies have been tampered with, why not the Dark's?
And He shall take our eyes, for our souls shall bow before Him, and He shall take our skin, for our flesh shall serve Him, and He shall take our lips, for only Him will we praise.
The DO dominates. He doesn't trust, he doesn't believe in you, he wants and demands to KNOW that all that you are submits to Him and Him alone. This segment is just particularly graphic.
And the Lord of the Evening shall face the Broken Champion, and shall spill his blood and bring us the Darkness so beautiful.
Lord of the Evening vs Lord of the Morning, Rand vs Moridin/Ishamael and the equivalent of the Light's: 'His blood on the rocks of Shayol Ghul, washing away the Shadow, sacrifice for man’s salvation.'
Let the screams begin, O followers of the Shadow. Beg for your destruction!
I think this is what Ishamael/Moridin has been aiming at. Enjoy life while you can, if the DO breaks free it'll be the end of all.
