| D6 | This fortune-teller is |
|---|---|
| 1 | a disgraced former advisor to a noble family. |
| 2 | a traveller who spends most of their time helping farmers time their plantings. |
| 3 | a scholar who studied too deeply into esoteric lore. |
| 4 | the prodigal heir of a future-obsessed cult. |
| 5 | a gifted hermit who survives on donations from petitioners. |
| 6 | a crazed victim of ominous visions, sorting truth from hallucination. |
| D6 | A distinctive feature of this fortune-teller is |
|---|---|
| 1 | that they've got opals in place of eyeballs. |
| 2 | that they've got constellations tattooed across their skin. |
| 3 | that they've pierced all the soft parts of their bodies with sewing needles. |
| 4 | their emaciated frame, with bones poking from skin in fortuitous shapes. |
| 5 | their hair, a cloud-like shroud of billowing white. |
| 6 | that their tongue is a light-eating black. |
| D6 | This fortune-teller tells fortunes |
|---|---|
| 1 | by casting the hair of a child who's never before been shorn into the air and analyzing how it drifts and falls. |
| 2 | by trapping rats in a barrel then waiting for them to starve and eat each other. The future becomes clear in the rats' mutually-spilled guts. |
| 3 | by studying the movement of stars in their reflection on an obsidian mirror. |
| 4 | by roasting shellfish in a fire and seeing how they split open. |
| 5 | by spilling the mingled blood of their petitioner and themself into a bowl of water and seeing how it swirls and dilutes. |
| 6 | by sleeping with their head on a pillow stuffed with bones, and communing with the dead in their dreams. |
| D6 | This fortune-teller is best at foretelling |
|---|---|
| 1 | danger and disasters. |
| 2 | love, betrayal, births, the fates of close friends and family, and other such intimate connections. |
| 3 | the weather, the behaviour of crowds, and similar ambient, emergent, environmental conditions. |
| 4 | the patterns and cycles of history, things which happened before and will happen again. |
| 5 | great rises and falls in status and wealth. |
| 6 | the obstacles that will be faced on journeys. |
| D6 | This fortune-teller's long-term aim |
|---|---|
| 1 | is to raise their distant descendants to sovereign power. |
| 2 | is to prevent a distantly-upcoming atrocity, by any means necessary. |
| 3 | is reducing chaotic anomalies in the weave of fate. |
| 4 | is to bring utter ruin to a rival. |
| 5 | is to attain a comfortable sinecure for which nothing much is expected of them. |
| 6 | is to fulfill a messianic prophecy. |
| D6 | Another petitioner who's come to see this fortune-teller is |
|---|---|
| 1 | an expectant mother cursed by a witch and seeking reassurance. |
| 2 | a starving artist certain they won't be appreciated in their own lifetime, and equally certain they'll be celebrated after their death. |
| 3 | a deeply-indebted gambler who wants to use the fortune-teller to get a big win. |
| 4 | a zeitgeist in disguise seeking to discover and punish the violation of causality. |
| 5 | a skeptic aiming to prove that the fortune-teller a fake. |
| 6 | an assassin couching their request about the success of their murderous mission in euphemistic terms. |
