8.17.4.3 THE AUGURIES OF THE DARK HEART

There are signs in everything. Beyond the discourse of semiotic note, the natural world flexes its spiritual side whenever practitioners of the subtler arts manifest their will. The Auguries of the Dark Heart will read these signs as if they were made of whispers, which only they can hear, and will then transmute this information into strength for the wyrden population. Following blindly the will of the wilderness is the way for most, but for the priests and priestesses who make up the body of this guild, their will commands and the spiritual energy of the Basin of Life bends before them.

Who can say what lies behind the cloak of Mother Night? What terrible thoughts run through the minds of the men and women who breathe their last breaths in agony? When will the first black rose of spring rise from the rotting mulch of the Glomdoring, and how will its petals be used? Only the clever minds of the Auguries of the Dark Heart can divine the answers to these questions. Those who practice the arts of subterfuge, magic, and ritualism will use the shadows as their tools, crow with the voice of the murder, sing with the choir of the Wyrden Song, and bestow their dark gifts upon the unwitting souls of the Basin of Life.

Together with the Thornwatch and the Swarm, the Auguries of the Dark Heart will guide the culture of the Glomdoring forward, ensuring that all who call the Heart of Darkness their home will know the true influence of the wyrd.
