The Oracle of the Plains

The story of the Oracle of the Plains is a legend of Ancient Anari .  In the past, the field spirits of the Chah region lived in harmony with the settlers of Anari .  But, as time passed and the region became more prosperous, the spirits decided to depart and live in only the most remote areas.

In the final days of the Chah Mountain spirits, before they left the world of Magnamund behind, they chose a spirit to stay behind.  This spirit would help advise those that came to it for aid.  It chose a small cavern to call its own and awaited the requests of the people.  The spirit would embody the gratitude that the mountain spirits felt toward the people of Anari.

As time passed, the mountains and the plains shifted.  The location of the Oracle's cave is no longer known and has been lost for hundreds of years.  But, if you can find the cave, the Oracle will answer your questions and supply advise for many of life's ills.

Variations & Mutation

In different tellings of this story, the Oracle is not a mountain spirit, but rather one of the early settlers of Anari suffused with the wisdom of a spirit.

Cultural Reception

The story of the Oracle of the Plains is considered by most, to be just that.  A simple story for children and laborers.  Among those that live outside of the major cities, the Oracle is often used as a subject for prayers when life is too difficult.
