Oracle Dragonbones

Dark futures, the gift of foresight and uncanny luck.

---

The bones rattle to a stop on a dark, wooden table amid a dusting of light snow. Cold, bony hands rub together in concentration as the pattern is carefully considered. A future is glimpsed. Cold violence and blood on the snow.

---

Covered in fine, carved runes, these polished bones appear to have been sourced from a particularly young dragon of unknown colouration. There are a pair of teeth, a shoulderbone, a rib, a vertibra and three knucklebones. When not in use, they are stored in a rough drawstring bag.

The dragonbones have an innate property of divination and may allow someone with no experience to have some degree of foresight. To a skilled practitioner, they may aid and elevate these abilities. They were found in the possession of Sister Auspicia, a bheur hag residing in the mountains in the south of Dunsland, among many other mundane fortunetelling tools.
