Cursed to be Blessed

Oracles are blessed with the ability to see beyond their eyes. To see the future and prophecy. For a multitude of reasons; perhaps the curse was done so by a hag that went wrong to a god selected a person to forsee a disaster.

This curse may completely irrepasrably damage their body and or souls, but in turn, it gives them strength. Divine power without the complete aid of a deity. Oracles who embrace their curse, find strength with it.

Pathstriders to the Future

Oracles are a rare sight in civilized society as their curse and strange powers make it difficult to live an ordinary life. At best, oracles are revered as blessed individuals, looked up to for their divine abilities. At worst, they are feared and cast out by those who don't trust their cursed state.

Many oracles are accompanied by a "Mystery". They gain a question that needs to be answered. While many may not care to answer it, others must find out what it means.

Its not uncommon to find or hear of a oracle out in the woods who can tell your future. Many get confused with witches or hags. As some will hide out in secluded places away from the burdens of their curse. Those who set out on adventure, will find themselves company of adventurers. Who are also outcasts in their own right. A oracle will always be at peace with one such party. Their skills to fortell danger is always vauiable.
