from A Brief History of the Guild of Moon Magic by Kssarh T'kinnirii, Apprentice to Guildmaster Tiv

The followers of Fortune's Path came from all across Elanthia and seemed as surprised to meet each other as they were to meet other sects. They were the soothsayers, the fortunetellers and sometimes the tricksters of roving gypsy tribes, as comfortable with a high- stakes dice game as with a cantrip or wand. Even their preferred form of divination, Tokka cards, originated as a gambling game.

Not surprisingly, the arrival of these mages coincided with a num- ber of extremely strange events; one happened right after their temporary spokeswoman stepped outside for some air, and was suddnly besieged by literally hundreds of freelance messengers, all of whom insisted that they had been looking for her for decades.

A colorful gypsy leans forward and speaks to you about this sect. "Gamblers, yes! We've been called that, and it's true. The most prominent of all Fortune's Path members are the wandering Gypsies, so it's only natural that we've gained this reputation."

"Life is too short not to enjoy it, and enjoy it we do. As Moon Mages, we tap into the Webs of Fate and dance with destiny. Some of us just know how to use this to our advantage in a card game or feast, and that can't be all wrong! Trust Fate to deliver to us not what we want, but what we need, and all is right with the world."

"Naturally, our magics reflect our strong interests in gaming, feasting and seizing life by the lapels!" The colorful gypsy adds, "You have but to JOIN us, and be part of this heritage."
