Ryuki

It is customary for young Avariels to consult with diviners near the time of their birth, or before important turning points in their lives. The old practice is slowly taking root in Sornieth. The diviner rattles their satchel, shuffling the runes within before spilling them across the table. They read only those that are face up.

Ryuki was born under the glow of Elistraee. Those born in such circumstances are known for their adaptability above all else. The largest rune revealed is the Mentality Rune. This implies Ryuki has inherited their penchant for charms, is the polite word for it. Critics are more apt to call it mind control. These are spells designed to color their target’s perception of those around them, and the most powerful may entirely rearrange a victim's personality, loyalties and sense of self. It is said that the full moon makes sinners out of saints, and those born under Elistraee’s banner have that same potential. Their limits are endless. This power is best handled with a delicate touch.

Two smaller runes deign to explain her future.

In the realm of travel, Ryuki will have the most consistency. Travel refers to Ryuki's opportunities to see more of this realm and those beyond it, and how frequently they are able to settle in one place. This can mean she will occasionally and only occasionally, explore different parts of Sornieth, or never stop traveling, doomed to forever wander without a home until the gods call her back. What’s good will remain, and what’s cursed will persist. Fate will push hardest against attempts to change this aspect of her life.

In contrast, the most volatile aspect in her life will be ether. The ether represents the unknown quantity of fate, the frequency and intensity by which the unexpected intervenes in Ryuki's life. It is a concept revered and feared in equal measure. The more inconsistent one’s tie to ether is, the less tethered to a singular fate they are.

To complete the reading, one close to Ryuki selects the final rune. Zrozin, her father, finds the rune for power, bestowing the most sincere blessing in the eye of fate.
