The Oracle

Considered the leader of the group known as The Triumvirate, purely because she is the only member that is able to speak, The Oracle is the most recognisable member of the trio. This is largely due to being the only one that does not hide her face, revealing her scarred, white eyes and pale, ailing skin. From her scars, its clear that she no longer has her sight, although she often states that she sees far more than mortals do, telling prophesies using her foresight, earning her the name of The Oracle. With the beads around her ears, along with distinct, serpentine clothing, she is far more recognisable than her fellows. Some even say that The Triumvirate is actually just The Oracle and two illusions, given her supreme, arcane might.

Personal history

What is known about The Oracle

The Oracle speaks little of her past, choosing to speak of the present or future instead. She does the same with both her compatriots revealing as little as possible, as you would expect from mystical types. Her reasoning for this is her immortality, finding it unnecessary to tell such unbelievable truths to mortals who won't even make it to a small fraction of her lifespan. Much like The Guardian and The Sovereign, she often states that she was once a member of The Obsidian Council, obscuring her name due to believing that it no longer has meaning for her.   The Oracle appeared before Lord Urill-ith after The Divine Exodus, alongside her companions, aiding in the extermination of the undead that had appeared in the area. Ever since garnering some attention at the Kingdom of Salardia, The Oracle has been sought after by mortals all around the world, hoping that she would reveal to them their futures, or even tell them of fated catastrophes. Her knowledge of these catastrophes grew in prominence, explaining how The Triumvirate have managed to prevent many of said catastrophes.    

Theories Surrounding The Oracle

Given that The Oracle is clearly of elven descent, many have theorised that she is, in some way, related to Nimue, the First of the Fey. This could mean that she is a demi-god, like other members of The Obsidian Council or that she is somehow linked to some of the archfey. Either or would explain both her mystic powers and foresight, as well as her placement on The Council. Some even believe that she uses druidic practices along with her arcane knowledge, leading a few, more radical theorists to believe that she is actually the daughter of Saol, the First Mortal, technically making her the first mortal woman.
