Sage Variant You seek in the movement of the Starry Wisdoms the secrets to the future, and understanding of who people are. By peering into the vaults of the firmament and charting the passage of the stars through the sky's dominions, you are granted the occasional glimpse as to what lies ahead. Many folk believe you to be some kind of priest or cultists of the Starry Wisdoms, but one does not worship the Great Lords of the Firmament - one simply observes them, and interprets their dance through the void to understand their message.

You have been granted a glimpse of the future in the stars. This is couched in the most symbolic terms possible, usually a number of "stars" that stand in for the important players in question, and an understanding of what generally occurs with their interaction. The identity of the players can be discovered only through the casting of the horoscope of that person.

• Example: A bright star from the Light of Winter shall enter into a deadly conjunction within the Pearl Savant. Woe betides them.
