A FOREWORD (On Owls): Of the many creatures born anew by way of the Weaver's cradle, there are few so favored as the Owls. Before the intervention of change, swift wings and merciless talons had allowed them reign of the night skies. When the Weaver turned their gaze onto the Owls, however, they saw greater opportunity. Keen eyes, and restless watch throughout the night; both great boons for a hunter. Still, Weaver knew there were better ways for them to serve the design. The greatest of the Owls, a horned thing with mightier wings than any other, was chosen as a herald - a messenger. Many more of his kin would assume it after him, ever faithful to his cause. Those owls were blessed with wisdom and instinct above all others. They were bestowed the ability to traverse across life's border with death - to plunge themselves into the realm of dreams. In their flights to and from these thresholds, they carry the Weaver's word. The sighting of a lone owl should be taken as a sign. Whether warning of an ending already passed, or one soon to come, it is not a thing to be taken lightly. These watchers in the night stalk the threads of destiny, waiting for death to take its toll. There and then they will descend, ready to exchange stories with souls deemed wise enough to better their stores. The Great Owl, Idol of Knowledge and Wisdom, Herald of Destiny and Messenger to Fate, descends. With him, tides of chaos ripple, blurring the lines between our world, and the dreaming realm. Only those gifted by the Weaver, as he is, can hope to comprehend the design. It is our place to uphold it, and glean what wisdom we may in that pursuit. SIGNED, Dubh Ainmhí. The Oracle, Dread. Daughter of Truth. Voice of the Great Owl, Idol of Knowledge & Wisdom. Edited December 28, 2022 by thequeennadine 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werew0lf 12056 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Out of all owls, the greatest of them was he - the Great Owl. It stirred above the continent like a thunderous deity, lusting for knowledge of the mortal realm. Yet it toyed with machinations of pure evil; that of necrotic wroth and infernal beings. It did not understand sin, unlike mortal men. The owl brooded, for now. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orlanth 3539 Share Posted December 28, 2022 And it came to pass that the great owl, a deity of great wisdom and understanding, gathered unto himself a collection of knowledge that was vast and unknowable. His eyes were sharp and piercing, able to see through the veil of ignorance and into the hearts of men. From the highest peaks to the lowest valleys, the great owl travelled far and wide, seeking out the secrets of the universe and collecting them within the vast halls of his library. And those who sought his counsel were blessed with insight and understanding, for the great owl was a being of great power and wisdom, and his collection of knowledge was a gift to all those who sought it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TreeSmoothie 4926 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Some deranged Prophet spouting nonsense about a reanimated dragon stopped to stare at the Great Owl's shrine in Celianor for a moment, muttering beneath their breath, "Huh?" 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
