Window of Wonders Story

Deep within the Book of Legends, there is a story of a great artifact created by a brotherhood of holy men. Their craftsmen fashioned a circular slab of enchanted quartz into a mighty window and set it high upon a rocky pinnacle. The Eye of Truth the brothers called it, but as its fame spread throughout the lands as an oracle and a magical source of hidden knowledge, to those that saw it, it became the Window of Wonders.

Only for the briefest time during the festival of the winter solstice could the great disc be questioned. When the first rays of the rising sun struck the window with a pure and brilliant beam of light, the petitioner would then have a few precious moments to pose their question.

Naturally there was a great demand for an audience with such a rare and valuable spectacle, and one might think that only the rich and influential would have access to it. However, the modest brotherhood who now stewarded the mighty window judged the worth of the petitioner not by their wealth or position but by their need. Consequently king and carpenter, sorcerer and shepherd, were permitted to wait in turn for this all too fleeting annual event.

One of the difficulties with oracles is how to interpret them, for they are frequently cryptic or obtuse. Hariolus, the old sage of the brotherhood, offered his unbiased wisdom on the visions that appeared. However, all those who were brave and determined enough to seek a glimpse of the future, were told ‘beware’, for deep disappointment as well as great joy might await them with the coming winter sun.
