• Of the Prophets of G’nar-Peth, little can be said: the purple- robed mages came from what they called “Master G’nar-Peth’s garden of paradise”, the same hellish volcanic wasteland known to the rest of Elanthia as the Blasted Plains. Masters of perception and inner vision, it is said that no illusion could fool their minds – nor their eyes, which were gouged out and the empty sockets hidden behind silken blindfolds. While surely mad, these walking contradictions were also adepts of fierce power, and “saw” the future in the reflections of their strangely engraved sandstone bowls. While the original Prophets vanished long ago, back into the wastes, some of the bowls remain as their legacy: but, it is written, spending too much time in contemplation of their serpentine hieroglyphs can be dangerous to the mind and soul. A blind prophet leans forward and speaks to you about this sect. “Sudu li aev sa dinta, li aevan sa ita. - When the eye be empty, the sight be full. This credo we of the G’nar Pethians live by, and it has served us countless generations. What use is mundane sight when we have foresight, gifted to us of the Sightless One? Our other senses are not even used to their fullest. “There is much more to prediction than to turn a card or roll bones, a deeper meaning that eludes most of our brethren Moon Mages. Things best left unknown, yet all unwittingly have learned them. We all have taken the whispers of secrets into our ears, and only the G’nar Pethian is aware of the implications of these concepts nesting in our mortal minds. Do you have an inkling of comprehension? “We, the G’nar Pethians, are keepers. Keepers of the lost, the forgotten, the best-left-buried. Ours is not the easy task.”
• In the old days before the Empire condemned the practice of sorcery (and that foul art, thankfully, passed into legend), a dark magus named Tezirah combined her spells with the skills of a mystic. She nurtured a cult of personality, which endured after her execution (under the reign of Empress Demin I) and became the Progeny of Tezirah. Though stripped of the foul magics their mistress taught, the Progeny turned mysticism to their own ends, specializing in dark prophesies and illusion. Their favored tool was the crystal Tezirah’s Mirror, a dangerous scrying device invented by the sorceress long ago.
