ORACLE, GUIDANCE THROUGH THE MISTS OF FATE
A treatise on Fate and Revelation, Prophecy and the Interpretation of the
Divine message

by Arinayar Ala'Irilan

Opening Words
=============

We mortals are on a finite timeline. We all are part of the grand design
devised by the Divine. They decide all possible outcomes and set each of us
upon a certain path. Through our actions we influence our own Fate, by making
ourselves less or more interesting. Possibly changing the outcome that is
planned for us.

We mortals are not privy to any of this which means most of live in
uncertainty. This leads to an important question: 'Why do I exist, what is my
purpose?'.

Preface, the Mists of Fate
==========================

Not knowing our destiny has an impact on us all, some seek to create their
own, others might meditate for inner peace, others might rebel and so on. For
most it would be very tempting to wish to be able to look beyond the Mists of
Fate, but that would be very perilous. If a mortal truly knows what lies in
store they would become obsessed with that knowledge. Assuming that their path
is set, they might stop living, waiting for the day of reckoning. Others might
refuse this and fight against the grand design.

However, there are clues, if you know how to look for them. There are many
mediums, personally I gain insights by drawing cards. The information gathered
from these cards needs to be interpreted, the cards are vague and not easily
translated into fact. There are so many factors, so many choices that would
influence the outcome of a drawing.

Assuming a sufficiently correct interpretation is made, one may gather hints
on what lies in store for that person in the near future, be it good or bad.
Interacting with these future events one may improve his position within the
grand design, aligning them better with the general purpose that was decided
for them.

Chapter 1, Oracle
=================

Oracle, definition:

... Anyone acting as a medium through whom advice or prophecy is communicated
by a Divine source.

All the Divine take part in crafting the grand design as discussed. There are
however only a few who are tasked, or perhaps willing, to communicate prophecy
to us mortals. During the Age at which this treatise is written this is Lady
Joihe and Lord Einoh.

As a follower and one who aspires to be an Oracle to Lady Joihe, I dedicate
this treatise to her honor.
