Dare to ask? Myth in Equilibrium | World Anvil

Dare to ask?

He is undoubtedly one of the most interesting people in Moonastic. Lvinig in a simple room in the Pharao's Dynasty he gives answers to questions. He answers in descriptives, riddles, and gibberish, but they always seem to fit. When you dare to ask him he points at you, simply to sit down. He grabs a blue pulsing sphere and stares into it... Then the answer comes. and do not make the mistake of getting angry or violent, because the Executioners will stop you and probably make a prophecy come true.
Several predictions and prophecys are proven to be true. He predicted the death of several people spot on.
He predicted the "silence" of the explorers who went further then ever. Although it is doubtfull if it was the Oriolis he was talking about. it was creepy when they suddenly went silent.  
A man telling of a set future is a myth

Historical Basis

There is no real historical base. Some researchers have noted that the glowing blue stone is a possibly a remnant from the Egyption Pharao Ra and if so, might have powers.

It gives the wielder also insight in the past and therefore also the future.
