The Scales Harrow Reading

The Gate of the Epochs would regard Longwei as he set about to shuffeling the deck, "Tell me Master Longwei what is it you seek in this reading?" Longwei would consider carefully then speak in his even tone, "To find the strength to defeat our foe the Dracolich." The Gate would nod and draw forth the cards of the Hammer laying 9 of them face down he would invite each of the Scales to come and take one.

Longwei would draw the Keep. "Master Longwei, you are the Keep, a quiet symbol of Strength, you are not shaken easily and stand firm through hardship." Ismail would move forward with skepticism and a bit of disdain, she would turn over The Uprising, "Lady Ismaril the Uprising signifies you are in the clutches of something more powerful then you, you will also see to the downfall of rulers or a specific ruler." Adalon would turn over the next card of hammers, revealing the Fiend, "You will face something sinister and malevolant, that strives to bring a great calamity, but be cautions, it is not always what you think it may be." Indalell would turn over a card next, "The Big Sky...you are a vessel for great change and the freedom of many if you choose to accept the mantle". Sildenaer would reveal his card, the Paladin, "The path of righteousness is not easily trod, despite the adversity your course is true and you must endure." Lastly Ayrien would reveal the Bear, "The truest card of strength, those who believe they may tame or control The Bear, soon learn the error of their ways, trust in your strength."

With the Choosing done, the Gates of the Epoch would reshuffle his deck and place 9 cards, in the Positive Past he would reveal the Winged Serpant, "You have used Knowledge and Prudence to defeat your enemies, this has required the Winged Serpent which represent understanding, continue to understand your foes to continue the Wisdom that has aided you," he would turn over the Positive present next, "The Publican represents fellowship and camaraderie, you are currently enjoying a positive state of moral within your newly found realms, be careful to safeguard this refuge, as it is tenious and fragile," turning over the positive future next would reveal the midwife, "The Midwife represents a conduit of creation but does not create itself. You are all key to new life or information to the world and can find the good in the darkest of moments."

He would move next to the unclear past, turning over the card found there, "The snakebite poisons and turns friends against each other, poisons the minds of the virtious, or is the death to freedom, someone among you may have been bitten, or unkowingly bit another turning them against you," his hands would move next to the Unclear present, revealing crows. "The Crows are an ill omen in the present, they take that which is loved thru murder, theft, or in general great loss. He would turn over next the unclear future, "The Twin," frowning more deeply, he would sigh, "This is a duality of purpose, or identity. It can mean divided loyalties, or that someone within your groups indecision will cause your purpose to waver. Lastly it could mean the entire ready has a hidden or reversed meaning....however as it is not in a true alignment this is unlikely."

He would move to the Negative past now turning its card over, The Rabbit Prince, "The Prince reminds us that any can fall in battle no matter how brave or skilled, remember those you have lost." The Negative present would reveal the Juggler, misaligned, "The Juggler has meddled in the affairs of others, tragedy and failure are assured for those they have touched." Lastly the Epoch of the Gates would reveal the negative future, the Eclipse, "This is a symbol of faith, but faith that waivers and falters under great distress, and a loss of ones path. You must walk carefully ahead less you find your Path to be lost." The Epoch would collect his cards and give a low bow from his seat before standing to leave the scales with his words.
