Moon Mage vision list 2024

This list includes visions from the Moon mage event prediction ability experienced in 2024.

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.

2024

Date and Time: 3/8/2024
You find yourself standing before an easel, evaluating a half-painted landscape showcasing a dramatic waterfall and leaning willow tree. It really is quite decently executed. You nod in modest approval, and suddenly notice a dark blue smudge in the otherwise empty sky. The smudge appears to be shrinking, as if the paint is being absorbed into the canvas. You lean in for a closer look when you hear a sound behind you, and turning quickly, see the woman in a wide brimmed hat clicking her lighter off and taking a deep drag from a cigarello. Exhaling twin plumes of smoke from her nose, she looks directly at you and begins to laugh. "Oh, no no, don't mind me. It's a fine rendition, really." She continues laughing, and the vision fades.

Loud conversation and a flurry of scents wash over you as you navigate a busy market. Vendors sell exotic fabrics and gems from far away lands, haggling over piles of spices and aromatic oils. You turn a corner into a quieter region of the bazaar, and the sounds and smells instantly become distant, muffled by the rough stone walls of a long alley. With some curiosity, you walk into the shade, studying the sides of buildings and drainage, enjoying a few moments of quiet in the liminal space. A very large dog emerges from a collection of discarded debris. Missing a small chunk of its right ear, and its fur matted and dirty, the dog studies you for a moment, its eyes narrowed as it slinks cautiously forward. Its lip curls, and a low growl echoes. The dog approaches, and suddenly, its tail begins to wag and it drops into a play bow, and it barks at you happily. The vision fades.

A man kneels in a dark room and sketches a series of symbols into an unsettling ritual circle. Once complete, the man begins to chant, and the circle sizzles and writhes to the cadence of his intonation. After some time, the man chokes, retching and coughing, and his back ripples grotesquely, the skin splitting and tearing as boney plates and ribs extend from his spine. The horrifying change goes on for some time, the man writhing in agony in a growing pool of blood and gore, and finally, the ritual concludes. The ritual circle evaporates, and the man rises, steaming beneath a vile suit of bone armor. With an air of newly acknowledging your presence, he looks at you and grins, and the vision fades.

Date and Time: 3/8/2024
A young man sits on a short stool, wrapping his fists in thick canvas. Tying the covering tight, he pounds his padded knuckles together and takes several sharp breaths, grunting loudly and stretching his arms. The man leaves the room, and a crowd roars in welcome. You watch the exit doorway for sometime, listening for the sounds of battle, but all you can hear is the howl of the crowd. After a moment the roar quiets, and a dual *thump thump* comes from behind you, and turning, you are surprised to see the young man sitting on the stool, exactly as before. Taking several sharp breaths and grunting loudly, he once again stretches and leaves the room. The vision fades.

Drifting along the ocean floor, a curious dolphin nudges you, urging you to follow. You push along the current along the edge of a deep ravine, and you do your best to ignore the vast open darkness below. The dolphin leads you to a freshly gouged track in the rocky floor, and resting part way over the lip of the ravine is a large chunk of slightly vibrating fractured crystal. The dolphin keeps its distance, and seems agitated at the crystal's presence, but you move closer. Certain you have seen this before, you reach out to touch the foreign object, when it suddenly contracts to nearly a quarter its former size, drawing you closer, and then violently expands along several faces, shoving you backward. The dolphin emits a series of angry squeals and clicks as it flees, and the crystal rocks precariously over the edge of the ravine, tottering for a moment before tumbling down into the inky depths. You watch the crystal disappear, and the vision fades.

Waves splash gently against the hull of a small, single-masted boat, and a man checks a compass briefly before making a minor course adjustment. Pulling several lines, he trims the sails, though it seems more out of habit than any need to do so. The boat steadily though slowly cuts through the gentle seas, heeling slightly in the weak beam wind. Scanning the cloudless skies, the man heads below deck to prepare a quick meal of jerky and water. Returning to the helm, the man sighs in boredom. He checks his compass once again, though the boat remains on course. He leans back and closes his eyes, basking in the warm midday sun. The winds slow and cease entirely, and without opening his eyes the man merely swears as only sailors can, and rubs his forehead in frustration. The sea is still, the sky is empty, and the vision fades.

Date and Time: 2/6/2024
In endless, starry darkness, you soar, winding between constellation and swirls of diffuse dust. A lighthouse rapidly spins, casting twin beams of light that pierce the void, illuminating nothing, and you drift past the ancient object. You bump into a slowly moving disturbance, gently pushed aside as the distortion tunnels in a winding motion. In the distance, you make out a point of dark blue light, and will yourself towards it. The point recedes, and you pursue. After some time, the light vanishes, and the vision fades.

A winter field stretches before you, and with a squeal of laughter, a child skips through the fluffy snow. Kneeling down, the child scoops a generous sweep of snow into her mittened hands and begins to form a compact snowball. After a bit of work, she holds up a lumpy mass and grins happily. Suddenly, the snowball vibrates angrily, and several large spikes of slushy ice expand outward. The child frowns and scoops up a bit more snow and compacts the snowball, restoring it to a lumpy sphere, but after a moment, the snowball once again vibrates angrily and expands erratically. Undeterred, the child once again scoops up some more snow and compacts the mass, and the vision fades.

With a hammering blow, you feel the air torn from your chest, and you find yourself cast high into the sky, the curve of Elanthia falling away as you flail madly to orient yourself. In the distance, you make out a perfect circle of featureless dark blue light, which begins to grow, though you are unable to ascertain whether the object is approaching or expanding. The edges of the circle begin to blot out the stars and moons, covering the curve of the planet, and still it grows. You feel yourself tugged forward, falling into the circle as its edges expand ever outward and it seems to wrap around you, a shrinking circle of visible space behind you, getting smaller and smaller. Finally, there is nothing but dark blue light, and the vision fades.

You find yourself in a featureless clean room. The lighting casts no shadows, and the walls are bare, though a single doorway graces the far wall. The door suddenly opens, and the woman in the wide-brimmed hat quickly steps into the room, closing an the door behind her. Her cataract-clouded eyes look you over head to toe, and she says, "Didn't mean to be late. Turn around." Skeptically, you turn to see a silver rod extending from the floor, forking until it is approximately eye level. With a flourish, she lights a cigarillo and steps past you. Inhaling deeply and blowing a series of smoke rings that dance and dissipate around the forks, she nods in approval. "I admit this one took me by surprise," she says with a chuckle, and raps her knuckle against one of the tines. The object rings, the tone building, echoing louder and louder. The sound continues to build, the tines begin to visibly vibrate, the woman grins bigger, and the vision fades.

You are falling, the cold air tearing across your face as a distant Elanthia looms. You can make out several distant landmarks, the Segoltha Bay, distant islands, the forests of Leth Deriel. As you orient yourself, you realize you are falling directly above the eastern span of the Dragonspine Mountain range. Several lances of blue light flash past you, hurtling downward. Exploding with violent light and fire moments after they flicker across the landscape, the staccato impacts reach you several seconds later. Several more lances of light flicker around you, focusing into a large spike of blue crystal, crackling at it hardens and lengthens into a jagged point. Carefully, you telekinetically nudge your body closer to the otherworldly object, and bracing yourself, you strike it with a sharp blow. The crystal chips but quickly heals and reforms. The ground races towards you, and the vision fades.

A calm forest brook flows around stones and fallen logs, the air filling with the sound of birds and crickets chirping. Fireflies lazily drift along the waters and brush, gathering en masse as they flicker in sequence creating beautiful surges of yellow-green luminescence. Gradually, the fireflies drift closer and closer together, forming a cluster of light that grows brighter and brighter, holding its shape before you as the insects struggle to fly in such a tight formation. The orb of flying fireflies grows brighter and brighter, and suddenly, goes dark. As your eyes adjust once again to the darkness of the forest brook, you see a large clump of dead fireflies drifting downstream, and the vision fades.

Date and Time: 1/4/2024
A pair of scuttlers appear before you, scrutinizing you momentarily. They turn, and begin carving the ground into an intricate series of curves and swirls, filling the pattern with glowing crystal. A pulsating dark blue light explodes across the sky, and the scuttlers begin working faster. As they continue to carve the ground, a dark blue rippling gate is revealed beneath them, which they step atop its rippling surface as if it is solid. Peaking over the edge of the gate, you see a view of a sweeping field of stars, slowly rotating, and recognize Merewalda and Morleena before the view begins to fill with the curve of Elanthia. As the view continues to rotate, the scuttlers appear to look directly overhead. Suddenly, the view within the gate snaps to perfect stillness, and you watch for several long moments as clouds slowly drift across the planet and overhead. The view begins to blur with pulsating dark blue light, and the vision fades.

Date and Time: 1/4/2024
Water splashes over your face, and you struggle to stay afloat in stormy seas. Waves crash overhead, and the wind howls, tearing at the water in a furious gale. Sliding along swells and surges, you lose all sense of direction and become submerged for longer and longer periods of time, unable to reach the surface, unable to breathe. Everything is silent beneath the waves, the inky blackness of the depths wavering under spears of light that does nothing to illuminate beyond the storm-torn surface. A coil of steelsilk snags your upthrust arm, looping around your wrist and tightening almost painfully, yanking you upward. You clear the surface, coughing, and are pulled higher, dangling above the ocean surface, swinging madly in the storm. You look around to find nothing but endless sea and storm. Following the line of the rope, you see that it extends far into the clouds, disappearing into a swirl of pulsating dark blue light. The vision fades.

Exhaustion bludgeons you suddenly, and you stagger, but do not fall. The shroud-wrapped corpse of your dead friend presses down across your shoulders. You walk, one foot in front of the other, sinking into the mud, and the landscape slowly changes. Trees give way to scrub, grass gives way to desert. You walk, one foot in front of the other, back aching and shoulders tiring. The sun touches the horizon and stains the land orange as the stars emerge. "Could be worse, you know," the voice of your friend says. "Could be you that died. Not sure I'd be able to carry you all this way." "Shut up. You're dead," you reply. "The dead don't speak." "Let it end with us," the voice pleads. "There's nothing left." "I... I can't. I won't." You continue walking, the dust swirling around your feet, and the night deepens, the stars burning above. The vision fades.
