Oracles of Greyhawk

(M): Appearing to be crystal balls with slight tinges of color, these were created many years ago for the then-Lord Mayor. However, no one is sure how many oracles are still in the government’s possession, and how many have been lost or stolen.

The oracles can be asked one question per day, as if the magic-user was consulting a sage (see DMG.) There are seven known oracles:

Color	Area of Knowledge
red	Horned Society
orange	Wild Coast
yellow	Kingdom of Furyondy
green	Gnarley Forest
blue	Shield Lands
violet	City of Greyhawk
brown	Cairn Hills

Possible questions might include populations of humans and demi-humans, numbers and types of troops, types of mon- sters, and special knowledge categories (see DMg) listed under Humankind, Demi-humankind, Fauna, and Flora. Each question may be considered to be in the oracle’s major field unless the question pertains to a different geographical area or to a field of study not listed above. Due to the alignment of the items’ creator, the chance of knowing an answer is also affected by the questioner’s alignment:

lawful	+10%
chaotic	-10%
good	+10%
evil	-15%
neutral	+25%

These modifiers are cumulative.
