<span style="color:red">A golden glow erupts from Unaka's halo, and your vision is overtaken by a blinding flash!  When the haze dissipates, you see a stream of visions of the blossoming of civilization, centered on ceremonious union and love.  At first, you see a small gathering of tribespeople, two facing each other as the rest all chant words as one.  Flickering in quick succession, you see dozens of variations on marriages, from the floral displays of the S'Kra Mur to the handfasting of the Elves to the jubilant parties of the Olvi.  A tall man beams proudly as he walks a young bride down the aisle to a waiting Cleric with a gloriously gold and white rose in her hand, the groom standing anxiously nearby.  The scene changes, and you see the man settle comfortably in a seat near the back of the dance hall, watching the couple take the center of the floor for their dance together.  A rosy-cheeked Olvi man dangles his feet in the seat next to him, and they raise glasses of ale together.  The vision fades.
