The Oracle

Many lives ago, The Oracle was a tengu, who ended up in the Godless Realm by accident while trying to escape the elven persecution. But they did not last long in this new plane... When they next came to life, they looked more akin to a crow, than a tengu. But in that shape, they learned the ways of the fey... Now, after many lives, they are more attuned to the realm's whims than many of its native inhabitants.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

The Oracle is reaching the end of this lifespan once more; they are slow and weak. Newcomers may mistake their ramblings for senility, but any citizen of Pindrop will quickly assure them The Oracle has always been like that.

Physical quirks

Their eyes blink a lot, and often several of them will close while they are resting. However, their eyes are never all closed at the same time.

Special abilities

They are a level 15 oracle, devoted to no god, but rather, the plane itself. They do not question their abilities, for they have afforded them so much.
Many lives ago, when they did not know yet how the plane worked, they were blind and had to rely on their other senses to learn more about the realm. And now the realm has gifted them with many eyes that allow them to see all that is necessary.

The newcomers will bring chaos in their attempts of order. The Realm will show them.

Dislikes

For several lives, their shape was crow-like, and often, they died at the hand of animals that thought they would make a tasty meal.
They have retained a disdain for anything that hunts or eats medium-sized birds, such as felines, and that dislike is somewhat still present against catfolk.

Of visions, and divinations

The Oracle gets visions in their sleep. Most of the time, they are obscure and hard to interpret, and they must spend a long time deciphering their meaning and pondering over it.

However, that is not the only tool The Oracle uses for peering into the unknown and what could be. The Oracle has a set of quills, which they throw onto a divination mat after a question has been asked to which they do not know the answer already. They interpret the pattern of the quills that used to form part of their feathers, which are, in the end, just part of the plane itself as much as anything else.
