Oracle of Drakhasrei

Under the caves of Drakhasrei awoke the sleeping Oracle. Centuries had passed while the Oracle slept there. For how long he did not know. Awoken by the construction of a great Cathedral above he appeared and first spoke to Dangeboyyyt who introduced him to the modern city of Drakhasrei. Memories were foggy but on meditation and research the Oracle regained their awareness.
Directly under the pre-planned position for the church steeple a single block of water was found one block beneath the surface. This was extended deep below the Cathedral and into the caves bellow Drakhasrei. The Holy Water was spread far and wide in and filled the caves beneath the city with its sacred glow. There the Oracle restored the shrine.

== The First Miracle ==
When the Oracle set their bed wrapped in purple and blue cotton they rested. When their eyes opened blocks of raw golden ore had appeared from nowhere above his head. Such a sacred and spontaneous act of creation was surely a sign from the Gods. Not long after the room began to sway and the chat was filled with indecipherable messages as the Oracle ran around the shrine dazed and confused. Suddenly, it stopped and the Oracle began to smoke. The smoking persisted for a while and would spontaneously return having been seen by Dangeboyyyt and FantascurDragon. The two dedicated citizens of Drakhasrei gave the first sacrifices of material to help the Oracle further embellish the shrine.
== Identifying the Involvement of Sylene ==
Having spoken with the Cardinal of the Soleannean faith and the Deacon of the duchy the Oracle came to believe it was the Goddess Sylene long thought to be sleeping that was trying to reach out. Goddess of the moon and water Sylene's presence can be felt strongly in the caves beneath Drakhasrei. The Cathedral was decided to be named 'Severion Sylenekir' in honour of the Goddess and work resumed on the structure by the faithful builders and architects of the glorious city of Drakhasrei. It was decided that a festival, sacrifice and consecration shall be held when the construction is complete with hopes of awaking the slumbering Goddess.
== Divining the Will of the Gods ==
The Oracle devised a way to see if a person is blessed. They must provide a sacrifice of their choosing to the Gods and then ask the Oracle a question of their choosing. Then they stand on the pressure plate in front of the Oracle's shrine. Out of two adjoining dispensers potions are released. If the Goddess Sylene favours you a potion of water breathing shall you receive to fully submerge yourself in the holy waters. If the Goddess is less pleased than a more venomous outcome shall be dealt.
Here the people of Drakhasrei can better understand the will of the Gods.
== The Second Miracle ==
When TheLonleySailor, a new resident of Drakhasrei, visited the Oracle he presented a sacrifice of 64 diamonds and 32 ingots of gold. He then stood on the pressure plate in front of the Oracle and he faced an option of either poison or a water breathing potion. The Goddess favoured him and blessed him with water breathing although he was stuck where he stood and unable to move. The Oracle produced a potion of healing passing it to TheLonleySailor and he was able to move again. When the Oracle called out in global chat a prayer to Sylene and asking her to be with him the room began to sway as the Oracle bathed in the holy waters beneath the Cathedral. The sensation was as if drunk yet no alcohol had been consumed.
