Books Taken Out
Geomancy
Arithomancy
Aeromancy
Notes from Library Books Prophecy
Geomancy is the form of Divination that interprets the pattern of objects thrown on the ground. Gravel, small stones, sticks, seeds or jewels can be used depending on what the skryer is looking for. The Skryer holds the objects in cupped hands and concentrates on the divinatory request. Then, opening their hands, the objects are allowed to drop. Interpretations are made through the hightened intuition of the practitioner based on the patterns the objects form along the ground, such as the shapes of words, pictures or runes.
Gravel - War with an Outsider Platoon
Semi-precious stones - Secluded encounter during a Raid
Sticks - Individual conflict with Outsiders
Seeds - Conversation or dialogue with Outsiders
Jewels - Friend formed with an Outsider
Aeromancy is a form of Divination which relies on the air and sky, including cloud formations, the type and direction of wind, comets, haloes about the sun or moon and other aerial formations. For this form of Divination, Ardys climbs the silver spiral staircase braced above the Dreaming Pool to stand out on the balcony set into the roof of the Dreaming Pool temple. He spends an hour meditating on the questions of the Empyrean, and when he descends the stairs again he has the answers to your Questions.
Cartomancy is perhaps the most famous method of Divination, and usually the most popular among apprentices. It uses a deck of cards with specific meanings attributed to each card. The cards are laid out in specific formations, and tuned face up one by one. The meanings are read individually, and then in correspondance with each other by their relative positions in the spread. Inverted cards have distinct meanings. Ardys uses the Tarot deck, which contains the Major and Minor Arcana. The Major Arcana are considered more powerful cards and signify importance or significant events.

The Space Between Thoughts During the course of your duties at the Dreaming Pool, you have been assisting in the effort of trying to locate the source of the Faust that had infiltrated the city. It has been unsuccessful thus far but, one day it seems almost by chance that your dowsing tugs your attention to an area outside the city. It’s hard to believe that there might be Faust so close to the city but you investigate nonetheless.
The requirements for the quest are as follows:
-At least two solo posts describing the discovery of the small hint that leads your attention outside the city
-At least one solo post describing what you find upon skrying that area, rolls are required for the success of the skry; PM a mod to learn what you have found. Further instructions will follow.
