video; un: Oracle
[The video flicks on and a girl in a blue denim jacket with pointed ears and round glasses struggles with positioning it right, even as the video is already playing. She takes a step back, sitting in a chair opposite the camera on a desk that's just full of papers.]
Um, hi. I think it's recording? Yeah, it's recording... Hello. [She clears her throat and adjusts her glasses. She speaks with a nervous somewhat nasally british accent that rings of 'very educated and also somewhat traumatized by it'.] So, I wanted to make something of an introduction, since I've heard that people show up a lot here. It's a bit overwhelming, the amount of information there is to learn about this place, but I'd like to get through it as quickly as possible.
My name is Adaine Abernant. Back home I was something called the Oracle, which is a title that was sort of just... dumped on me, but it does have meaning. Uh, basically it means I get prophetic visions, both of the future and events happening in the present. [Technically it's the 'Elven Oracle', but here's the thing. Fuck Fallinel and fuck the elven government.] On top of that, I was also a student at the Aguefort Adventuring Academy and a wizard of the Divination school, which works similarly to how Paleblood magic seems to work, at least from my initial observations.
So, uhm, the point of all of that is that if you have something you'd like to find out, a prophesy, or something to find, I might be able to help. I'm still figuring out how to work it now that it's all mixed with Trench's native blood magic. And as an adventurer, I'm also used to helping people out if they're in trouble or there's a largescale threat.
[She pauses and peers down at one of the papers, a list of some sort, and then continues.]
...On top of that, and the larger point of all this is, I'd like to learn as much about Trench's magic, metaphysics, cosmology and society as possible. I'm doing my own research, obviously, but if anyone wants to share their own notes or experiences, or even just point me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it.

At Alayne's words, she cocks her head, considering.]
I could probably teach you this much, honestly. There's actually a spell of the same level that would probably be more applicable to your work, umm... here. [She picks up a sheet of paper off the table and tears it in half. She holds both up to show Alayne.]
Completely ruined, right? Well... [Her hands spark with a faint green glow, and the page seems to mend itself back together, reattaching both halves and restoring the writing on it good as new.] That works with fabric too. It won't restore anything magical, but it's still sort of a lifesaver.

Oh! I have to learn that one, or you'll put me out of business!
[a joke, but she really does want to learn it.]
There used to be magic in Westeros. They say men learned it from the Children of the Forest. Perhaps they simply lost the proper words once the Andals came and the Children disappeared.

Guess we better start quickly before I get any ideas, then!
That's interesting, though. I think if there was magic there definitely is the possibility to regain it if it's ever unearthed again. Magic doesn't necessarily have to originate from studying it, sometimes there's a... blood element to it, like the power exists within you and you just need to unlock it? That seems to be what this world entirely runs on.
Do you think the Children still exist?
no subject
I shouldn't like to think they were all gone, but nothing in Westeros ever seemed to care what I wanted. Still, there must be an old forest where they could yet live, perhaps far in the mountains of the North.
no subject
I hope so, anyway.
