Moon Mage vision list 2018

This list includes visions from the Moon mage event prediction ability experienced in 2018.

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.

2018

Date and Time: 08/15/2018
You find yourself watching a small child at play with a wooden figure. It's clear from her grin that she cherishes the toy, but she moves with the clumsy hands of youth and loses her grip. The figure tumbles to the hard cobblestone and with a loud *crack*, loses a limb. The child, in the throes of distress, fails to notice the tall woman wrapped in heavy robes who's stepped out of the shadows. With a startled jump, the girl's crying halts and a muscled and leathery arm reaches past her to pluck up the broken figure. Slender fingers expertly work the doll, turning and twisting, mending the broken toy, as the girl's fear quickly turns to wonder. In a moment the doll is restored and back in the little girl's small hands. The girl beams with joy and looks up at the tall woman's face, only to find the lower half covered in a thick veil. The girl looks confused for a moment, though the woman's purple eyes quickly convey a kind smile, and the vision fades.

Your limbs feel leaden, weighted down by something heavier than you can even imagine. The only light comes from a single source nearby, casting the area in a constant shadow. When you try to lift your head, you realize even that is bound and immobile. A figure approaches, caught in your peripheral vision. His face looms above yours, yet you can't seem to remember anything but red hair. You hear a voice resonate, "You'll do, Mistanna, I suppose," as the figure begins to consume your face.

The smell of damp earth mixed with pine envelops you, invading your nostrils with the overwhelming fragrance. Numbness, darkness and silence are all that exist except for the permeating aroma and the pervasive ideation of an unknown hunger. Fear and loneliness impregnate your mind, switching between abject terror and deadening feeling of abandonment. But the scent remains, like your only friend, a constant in the nothingness. Awake, never sleeping, never dreaming you wait as time passes. Your body shudders, you think you may be crying but you can't feel the tears. Now even smell evades you, every sense gone. You are complete. You are truly alone.

Your vision is blotted out by flowing black ichor, muting all sound, all color, all sensation. There is only blackness, and after what could be moments or an eternity, you wonder if it's all you've ever known, all that has ever been. Gradually, almost imperceptibly, the blackness gives rise to pinpricks of dull crimson, deepening and brightening in color and intensity, like millions of distant stars. Suddenly, each spot of brilliant red light shifts, and you realize in abject horror that each point of red light against blackness is an eye, casting its gaze upon your helpless form. Your vision snaps back to your surroundings but you have a hard time shaking the feeling of being watched.

You feel the gentle pressure of tickling taps scuttle up your forearm followed by soft feathery caresses brushing against your skin. Slowly folding and unfolding its enormous wings, the huge moth seems content to relax on your arm. You notice the muted pattern of burgundy, azure, and silver shift from sharp geometric shapes to vibrant, dreamlike colors in tumultuous array. As the pattern mutates once more into grey scale, within the ashen hues spotted with white you notice the skull on its wing and you feel an excruciating pain from where the insect landed. The moth's head bends backward at an awkward, serpentine angle and screeches loudly, revealing rows of razor sharp teeth. Your vision bleeds back to the present but leaves you with the sensation that your soul has been weakened.

Before you sprawls a market, each stall festooned with brilliantly dyed fabrics, sheets of wool and linen and cotton snapping in the gentle breeze. The loud din of lively barter blends each conversation together, and you find yourself hungry as the wind shifts, bringing the scent of roasting meat from a nearby stall. Suddenly, you feel a tug at your side, and look down in time to see a child snatching their hand from your pocket and dashing for an alley, a fistful of coin held tightly. Before you can shout for help, the vision fades.

A gravel walkway winds towards a large manor, the front door slightly ajar. A gentle breeze begins to stir, and the door slowly swings open, revealing an elegant foyer. At the center of the room a tall vase of frosted crystal sits atop a polished oak table. Artfully arranged within the vase, you see a splash of lily, honeysuckle, and snapdragons. The door suddenly slams shut, and the vision fades.

Blades of grass tower overhead, emerald arcs across the bright cloudless sky. The drying corpse of a beetle lays on its side, its limbs gently crossed in death. A faint line mars the abdominal portion of the beetle's carapace.

Your vision fades and you find yourself in a dark room filled with cigar smoke. A simple round table seats five figures, who appear to be playing cards, though you do not recognize the shape of the game they seem to be playing or any of the cards they are using. Each time one of the figures makes a play, the group passionately but affably argues the move and softly glowing marbles change hands. One of the figures places three cards on the table, takes two different cards into their hand, laughs uproariously, and places their whole hand on the table. The rest of the group beings to howl and pound the table, and the winner gathers the cards and begins to shuffle again. While the rest of the group lights fresh cigars, the winner looks directly at you and winks.

You feel a chill winter wind. A moonless sky provides the faintest of illumination and the snow crunches beneath you. The outlines of vast trees sway violently, their bare branches grasping. Directly in front of you stands a Prydaen child, naked and tinged with frost. The child reaches for you and begins to scream, and the vision fades.

You feel a blast of heat and wipe your already sweating brow. Before you, a large crucible filled with molten metal sits nestled in the coals of a blazing furnace. You lean heavily on a large foot-powered bellows, directing an intense gout of air into the bed of coals, causing the flames to roar and crackle. With a pair of tongs, you grasp the crucible and prepare to lift it, when suddenly it explodes, and blobs of bright yellow metal sear your flesh. You scream in agony and the vision fades.

A sense of foreboding wells within you as you watch a storm gather upon the horizon. Grey clouds and biting rain move rapidly across the land, sending all manner of man and beast running for cover. A large bolt of lightning strikes a building of solid gold but it appears undamaged. As the scene fades from your sight, you observe a billow of smoke pouring out from within the golden structure.

Reality ripples like the surface of a disturbed pond, and as it settles you find yourself seated at a workbench covered in bolts of fine silk and tailor's tools. Three dresses hang upon wire mannequins behind you, and you glance back for a moment to admire them: the first a dingy rag of flat grey cotton, next a shimmering display of silken crystalline light, and the last a nebulous mass of velvet buoyed by an unseen breeze. You turn back to your work in progress upon the table and begin to whistle a quiet but complex melody. Before you can sound your final note, something from behind suddenly wraps around your neck, squeezing tightly. Your tune halts abruptly and your heart beats fast as you struggle to catch a breath and the world fades to black.

Pale pink-tinged blossoms blot out your vision, leaving your other senses reeling with increased intensity. You hear laughter mingled with distant howls and smell heavy spices, your body ensconced in a warmth so profound that your sense of self feels expanded to the point of near infinite bounds. Just as you feel as though you may well cease to exist as a single being, your senses snap back to the here and now, leaving you with only a faint, unidentifiable sweetness upon your tongue as a reminder.

Pain. Pain assaults you from your extremities, and as you glance at your body to determine the source, you see hideous blotches forming upon your flesh. A cry of horror wells up within you, yet what escapes your lips is but the sound of leaves upon the wind.

Before you, a great black beast holds a human man in its jaws, gnawing upon him with casual leisure. The man's dusky skin is streaked with blood and yet his face remains serene and determined, even as it is clear he is slowly dying from the myriad wounds visible on his battered body. A pool of blood gathers on the ground beneath both man and beast, and with each drop added to it, the vague image of other humans that is reflected in the sanguine mass shifts slightly. You struggle to make out more of the bloody vision, but the liquid is frustratingly murky.

A cloudless sky spreads itself before your mind's eye, just a touch darker in tone than a robin's egg. Just left of center, a single trail of black smoke rises. Barely a smudge against the perfection of azure, the dark line is quickly blown away, leaving the sky flawless once more. As you blink, the world you know returns.
