The title, of course, is a reference to the Golden Voyage of Sinbad, where the oracle of all knowledge recites this:
"Two Tablets brought forth to the light, yet a third remains from sight. A final place must still be found, a place that lies deep below the ground. No race is lost until in fact it's won, and close behind you comes the black and evil son, spawned by the devil, suckled on black milk, in human form, clad in robes of silk. Destiny. Destiny. Destiny is invisible yet visible, and men may try to hide, yet its waters mark him clearly like a rainbow in the sky.
Destiny is a place where both good and evil wait, and yet their very equality negates there power, for it is the very deeds of weak and mortal men that may tip the scales one way or another and then the world shall know, and you shall know, which way the fates have chosen you shall go.
Go. Go now. Go north, north to barren lands of pagan places of pagan men, before a goddess, CAST WITH MANY LIMBS, and death to all intruders is their whim!
In that sacred place, hid from the eyes of man, is the third gold tablet that completes the path! Go Now. Go North!"
