Moon Mage vision list 2016

This list includes visions from the Moon mage event prediction ability experienced in 2016.

Also included are spontaneous visions experienced without the use of the PREDICT command. These latter visions can be experienced by any moon mage as long as they're logged into the game environment when the vision is distributed. Generally these visions signal incipient invasions or immediate developments in an ongoing event or storyline.

Moon mage visions stem directly from their prophetic link to the Plane of Probability and connection to Fate.

2016

Date and Time: 10/28/2016
You hear a shrill cry from behind, and as you reflexively turn toward the sound the world around you shifts into an alternate scene. A golden-haired Elothean, wide-eyed and disheveled, stands before an elegant archway which is blocked by a stocky Dwarven woman. The Elothean points her finger beyond the egress and exclaims, "The dove calls! We must answer she who is the Mother of lasting peace -- move aside!" Grunting with dissatisfaction, the Dwarf says, "Child, I've had enough," and with a brief invocation and light touch, her companion falls unconscious. The image slowly fades as the Dwarf shifts her guard from the exit to the body on the floor.

At the sound of a distant sob, a vision forms before your eyes. Huddled by the leg of an enormous dead spider, a dark-haired Gnome gazes up at a cloaked figure. His expression reveals abject despair as tears stain his face and the front of his vest. Though nothing about the wearer of the cloak is clear, the stance is that of someone caught up in a gale of laughter.

An off-key whistle slides along the edge of your nerves, phasing in and out of time with an unevenly timed tapping. After a moment, it slows to a halt, and you feel the sensation of fetid breath at the back of your neck. The scent of something earthy with a coppery brightness wafts over you, then fades.

Heat embraces you from nowhere, leaving a prickling sensation along every nerve. A rough voice whispers, "Of course, I should have known. But how could I know?" A soft sob interrupts the voice, but the whisper returns again and again. After a dozen or more repetitions, the voice suddenly stops, then shouts, "Silence!" as a blast of chilled air surrounds you before everything fades into your mind.

An icy chill assaults your body, running swiftly from head to toe as if water had been poured onto you, while your vision grows dim. Blurry shapes like driftwood floating amid emerald depths are all you can discern for a few moments after the initial shock. Slowly, you manage to make out the shapes more clearly, and come to recognize the grizzly remains of many unfortunate victims adrift in the sea amid shattered flotsam. Your vision focuses with clarity enough to glimpse a large island in the distance, as storm clouds quickly gather above the large, tiered city perched upon its southern shore. With a jolt you find yourself snapped back to the here and now, left with only the memory of what you have seen.

Searing white light momentarily blinds your vision! When it begins to clear into hues of sea foam, you glimpse the ghost-image of a cog plowing through the sea, just off the shore of a large island, its multi-tiered city receding slowly into the distance. With the vision continuing to fade, you watch the ship dashed by a monstrous wave and scattered to flotsam before the approach of storm clouds descending upon the city. With another blink of your eyes, the vision has faded entirely.

Warmth washes over you and you feel your attention slipping away to a cloudy day at the beach. Waves wash up on soft sand below the sky of grey, and sea birds call out. Suddenly, under the sand, something stirs. A fin appears and heads right toward a small group of children building a sand castle. Their parents, on a nearby veranda, don't notice. Until the screaming starts. Your eyes snap open and the world you know returns.

Date and Time: 10/23/2016
Matte eyes, dark as night itself, flash before yours. The dark face surrounding the eyes is nearly devoid of features, though it is sticking its very red tongue out at you. Then, the tongue drops to the ground with a soft splat. The eyes move closer, focused on your mouth before a breeze blows them away.

Counterpoint to the noises around you, faint footsteps and the whisper of fabric dragging along the ground capture part of your attention. The sound draws off and fades away to silence, leaving you with nothing but a slightly uneasy feeling.

Darkening slightly, your vision is drawn to an image of several constellations. The Adder and the Weasel slowly circle each other as the Spider at the center spins a web. When the Spider is done, all the other stars are enrobed in webbing and their lights begin to dim. The Spider flashes reddish fangs as the scene fades from your sight.

A hallway filled with package-laden shoppers fills your field of vision, cheerful faces and happy voices abound. Drawing back, the scene shifts. A Gnome stands in a field, gently stroking the leg of an oversized arachnid. As the scene fades, you hear his voice crooning a lullabye.

Date and Time: 10/23/2016
A shift in your mind's eye allows you the vantage point of a bird, soaring near a vast temple complex. As you float past a window, a scene inside captures your attention. A priestess in simple robes of fine dark silk wanders along a hallway with her attention fixed upon a scroll in her hands. She does not notice the heavy strand of spider silk that rises before her foot to send her sprawling. As the scene fades, a dry chuckle echoes through your mind.

"Bones, bones, bones!" The words dissolve into giggling and the sound of running feet. So very many running feet! A sickly meow turns into a yowl that fades into the distance. It takes a moment to realize you haven't moved. But, maybe you should...

Bright before your eyes, a vision forms. A wide field on a mountain side, green against the grey, holds crowds awaiting something. As you observe, something brushes against the side of your head. Step, step, step, it creeps to your forehead, then takes one more step onto the center of your pupil. At your involuntary blink, the vision snaps shut, but your eye continues to burn for a while.

Unbearable itching at your eyes leaves you with no remedy but to close them tightly and rub. Opening them at the first sign of relief, you realize that your vision has fractured. Fragments of the things you recognized a moment ago swirl and swoop as you turn your head, inducing nausea and disorientation. After a few blinks, you see normally again, but leave you with a lingering headache.

Your vision momentarily dims, and you could swear you hear a faint "Tick. Tick. Tick." in the periphery of your hearing. Just as your vision begins to clear, you see the ominous image of a shadowed street with small, malevolent figures scampering in and out of what little light there is. Abruptly, your sight and hearing return to normal.

Date and Time: 10/20/2016
Gurgling, almost like a hungry belly, echoes around you. The air thickens with a cloying humidity as a dark shape floats toward you. Cold as blued steel, an eye stares at nothing just before jagged ivory teeth flash into view. A thud at your very core takes your breath away as the creature engulfs you, but as you blink again, your world returns to normal.

Hunger striking your belly like a hammer forces you to hunch forward. As you try to stand, a noticeable shift in your surroundings is evident. People run screaming at your approach, and mingled with your confusion is the distinct desire to rip them apart and tear their very souls out. As you get a victim in your grasp, you find yourself back in the world you know, with a lingering ache in your abdomen.

A sense of urgency washes over you, and you catch sight of an ironwood drawbridge being hastily drawn closed. Shouts and the frantic waving of guards at something just out of sight fades as the drawbridge closes. Those cries are soon replaced by the sound of moving water and the intense scent of salt on the air.

Date and Time: 10/19/2016
An unusually warm raindrop lands at the back of your neck and slowly trickles down. A swirling pattern appears in the air overhead, pale spots on iridescence. Undulating slowly, an eel coalesces into the air, silvery eyes focused intently on your face. A sense of paralysis holds you as the eel drapes itself over your shoulders, cool and slick around your neck. Tighter, tighter, then suddenly gone, leaving a lingering chill that slowly fades.

Between one breath and the next, your vision turns inward. A sunrise sky, filled with opalescent hues, frames a single tree. Drawing nearer you notice that the deep green leaves carry veins of red and orange. A shrike perched on a branch sings, but falls silent as you observe. Suddenly, a cloud of butcherbirds descends. Just before they reach the shrike, the everyday world reforms around you.

A child's giggle catches your attention, and you find your attention drawn away to another vision. A pair of Olvi children in ragged clothes play with dolls made of sticks. They turn as one at a scraping sound, and shriek with delight as a doll drags itself into view. Rust-colored streaks along its face and hands, combined with the madness in its eyes, leave no doubt as to its identity, but the children only see a doll, and rush toward it. Just as they stretch their hands to grasp it, a flash of light distracts you and you are surrounded by the world you know.

Date and Time: 10/19/2016
Warmth and wetness engulf you, bringing a sensation of suffocation. The world is unchanged except for a translucent membrane that resists your frantic clawing. Dimly, from overhead, the sound of hoots and shrieks rise in volume. The sound you'd like to make only results in an air bubble, slithering up the inside of the skin you're in. Your senses fade until only a single point of light remains in your field of vision. As that blinks shut, your normal surroundings return.
Possible Subjects: Unknown	Repeat: ?

Date and Time: 10/19/2016
Exasperated hissing envelops you, close enough to feel the exhalation against your face. As the sound ends, a pair of mismatched eyes waver into sight, staring from a skeletal S'Kra Mur woman's face. Her expression reflects a mingling of disappointment with a hunger so intense it leaves you feeling hollow. Reaching toward your throat with a skeletal, clawed hand, she fades just before making contact."

Creeping along your spine despite the warmth of summer, a chill pulls your attention to another vision. A massive stone gate leads into a city. On platforms above, Gor'Togs and Dwarves move to defend it. Just as a shadowy mass approaches, you are snapped back to the real world.
Possible Subjects: Invasion, Hibarnhvidar	Repeat: False

Date and Time: 10/8/2016
The world suddenly fades to shadow around you. A tiny mote of sickly green light emerges from the darkness, hovering eerily in a self-repeating, circular pattern. Your perspective rapidly expands, as if you were being shot into the air, and the image of a four-pointed crystal star surrounded by a ring of water is visible below you, circumscribed by the ominous green nova. The light explodes into four snaking lines that streak toward each tip of the star. A piercing wail echoes in your mind as your vision returns to the here and now.

A vivid blue burst of light blots out your mundane senses, and you suddenly find yourself floating above a sea dotted with tiny bits of brown and green. The scene dissolves as suddenly as it came on, though now it is a churning sanguine-tinged red that dominates your vision. You barely make out what appears to be flailing limbs within the ever-changing whorls before you are jolted back into the here and now by a wet thud against your head!
Possible Subjects: Drogor, Invasion, Ratha	Repeat: False

Date and Time: 10/5/2016
A violent crushing blow slams into you, blotting out your mundane senses as you find yourself in the grip of a vision! You reel from the impact and begin to steady yourself when a sudden overwhelming chill permeates your body. Frozen in place, you become dully aware of writhing forms all around you, flashes of black and brown highlighting the movement. A sharp pain snaps you back into reality before you can discern much more, but you are left with a lingering unease that goes beyond mere physical sensation.

Date and Time: 10/2/2016

Date and Time: 10/1/2016
Your vision spins as you feel the forces of Fate and Probability pulling you into yet another vision! Darkness. A voice call to you, soft and shadowed like Mother's. It must be Mother's.

The velvety caress that had ensconced you is suddenly ripped from your body, and you find yourself back in the here and now, albeit with a lingering dull headache.
Possible Subjects: Unknown	Repeat: False

Date and Time: 6/15/2016
A blur of jumbled sights and sounds rushes to overtake you, assaulting your senses with potentiality! You steel yourself against the onslaught, trying to hold on to even the briefest coherency.

Possible Subjects: Unknown	Repeat: False

Date and Time: 3/6/2016
Mists swirl about you, coalescing into a pair of figures pouring over a cluttered desk. Though the words are distorted, it is clear they are engaged in a passionate argument. One, an older Elf, points towards his chest before pounding a fist on the desk. This causes the Elothean to jerk away from the table, a look of disgust on her face which she quickly suppresses. Shoulders slumped she claims a single slender volume from the desk and walks away.

Date and Time: 1/21/2016
You find yourself dangling over the edge of a sheer rockface, gripped at the scruff of your neck by a transparent hand. You struggle and claw, but your flailings only meet empty air.

Possible Subjects: Unknown	Repeat: True

Date and Time: 1/21/2016
Solid shadows roll before your eyes, becoming twelve glass marbles laid out on a swath of dark blue satin. From the edges of the fabric a purple smolder encroaches inward ever so slowly.

Possible Subjects: Planets	Repeat: True

Date and Time: 1/21/2016
You see a pair of glowing blue hands with slender fingers and lacquered nails. As you watch, water slowly pools up in the cupped palms, tinted metallic blue by the glow. However, you notice that the water does not behave like water at all: it sporadically climbs into the air in little forked tendrils, passes through the flesh of the hands without dripping below, and froths over with sparks. After several seconds, the hands begin trembling and throw away the strange liquid, which crackles into nothingness.
Possible Subjects: Unknown	Repeat: True

Date and Time: 1/14/2016

Darkness engulfs you as you find yourself lost to another vision! Emerging from a cave, a massive Gor'Tog warrior snarls as he raises his weapons, shaking blood from both them and the bear hide he is wearing. The man stomps and howls as the ground beneath his feet morphs into a pile of Elpalzi corpses! Your vision dissolves into a sanguine mist and the once-deafening sounds of rage subside, leaving you with only but a whispered phrase repeating in your mind -- "Drathrok's Duskruin."

Date and Time: 1/12/2016
Your worldly senses are overwhelmed by an onslaught of jumbled images and sounds!

A shadowy haze descends upon your surroundings as your vision shifts. As you adjust, a decaying fort comes into view, though it's little more than burned wood and mounds of mud and rubble. Ancient soldiers that no longer draw breath, each wearing uniforms of a forgotten time, rise up only to be blasted into oblivion by robed mages. As your surroundings return, you hear a faint whisper, "Lord Alret will rule all, you know."
