Clearsight

Following the death of Onwen and the destruction of his Holy Symbol on Day 94Days 87-94 (10-17 May), the GSOV was broken completely and people throughout the land will effectively develop Clearsight - though in reality it will be the dissipation of the GSOV that they are experiencing.
The rare ability to be unaffected by the 'SEP' effect of the Spell of Voids. About 1 in 500 people have it - it appears that you are either born with it, or can 'catch' it from other people - though the rate of transmission is very low. It first emerged about the time of the Shanah attack on Wyldwood Shrine.
There are three 'levels' of Clearsight, ranging from the ability to just not ignore things, though the ability to investigate/analyse topics, up to the even rarer ability to detect other people with Clearsight. Clearsight comes on suddenly and completely. Some people go mad due to their not being able to accept the onslaught of insight/information – or are considered mad because of what they now believe.
According to Swanfeather: “we clans have managed to make sure that nearly all [ Ariel ] speakers have Clearsight, it is the only way to keep the memories unfogged.”Day 65 - Far Haven - Tripwires She also use mnemonics and rote learning to overcome memory impediments.

==Level 3 Clearsight characters (Can detect Clearsight in others)==
*Cagrun
*Gohde
*Olg Stonemaker - definitely. Or he's making the whole thing up.
==Level 2 Clearsight characters (Can investigate/analyse topics)==
*All of the party - and this is the reason they were selected by Cagrun.
*A senior researcher from College who went to Starport - says Olg
==Level 1 Clearsight characters (Will not ignore or disbelieve evidence)==
*Vinmira
*Swanfeather
*Tein Crossguard: You soon get the feeling that whilst she may not have full Clearsight she is not fully affected by the spell of forgetting.Day 75 - Fleet of Foot
==Characters believed to have Clearsight but of unknown level== 
*Duke Adamas - says Olg
*Apana - says Olg
*Cohner (Mercenary leader in Northlake) - says Olg
*An senior officer in Northlake's city watch - says Olg
*The Giant in Torgan referred to by Olg
*Wynargh - recognised the Ogre pendant as significant
*Ownen and Bez Drock (the erstwhile First Sword of Shanah) in Far Haven presumably recognised a threat that they would have ignored without Clearsight.
*Far Haven#Warlord SaratakWarlord Saratak
*Larksong - as a Speaker he is likely to have it.
==People believed not to have Clearsight==
*Golderod - If he does have it, he is deliberately concealing the fact.
*Ranlarke - I would take Vinmira's remark of 'he is a bit unimaginative' to be a way of saying this. Also, he didn't tell us that Ranlarke did have it when discussing Clearsight.
*Sparrowsight - We don't believe she has it.Zoom 2020-11-06 21:00

==Vinmira's information==
Day 64 – The Vinmira Monologues
Vinmira: “Clearsight is an ability that only a few people seem to have, although it’s prevalence is growing – it doesn’t seem to be a from birth ability but comes on at seemingly random times. There appear to be three broad levels: those who are able to receive and process but cannot instigate investigation/analysis personally; those who are able to in addition investigate and analyse; those who are able to spot the ability in others. As you guessed, Gohde and Cagrun are both in the third tier, your folks are second tier, me unfortunately I am apparently first tier.”
Vinmira: “What you suspect, and what I believe to be true is that the emergence of clearsight started here in Far Haven at about the same time as the Wyldwood shrine was assaulted by the Shanah.”
==Olg Stonemaker's information==
This was explained to Garaf by Olg Stonemaker in Day 28-34 – The third week in Northlake:
Olg: “Right, what you need to know is that you and your companions have what is currently termed clearsight. Up to now, it has only appeared to affect around 1 in 500 people, although the proportion is growing fast.”
Garaf: “Clearsight??”
Olg: “As I said, it is just a term used, I have it as well, and from what you have told me I suspect your friends Garaf (assume Darrell meant Cagrun - Ed) and Gohde have it. Some people with clearsight, like myself for instance, are able to identify others with the same ability or lack thereof.”
Garaf: “Wonderful, but what is it….”
Olg: “I am coming to that, you have heard of the Spell of the Voids, the great casting by the Elves that heralded the Age of Chaos – and the forgetting that they bound into that ritual?”
Garaf: “Yes, kind of.”
Olg: “Well those with clearsight seem to be resistant to the forgetting part of the ritual. Able to ask questions and make connections when most people would just shrug and say ‘just is’. Since the Elves reappeared, more and more people are asking these questions and my current belief is that the Spell of the Voids is fraying. There is a Giant at Torgan, really really old guy, that about 20 years ago began babbling about the coming of Dragons. For his troubles the local tribe imprisoned him in a cave, believing him mad. Personally I believe that he had developed clearsight and was remembering something from his childhood, or was foreseeing the Elves – I never got to meet him and am now tied to Northlake so likely never will – if he is still alive.”
== Info from Day 35-41 – The fourth week in Northlake: ==
*There does not seem to be a way to	learn the ‘detect clearsight’ ability, or certainly not one that Olg is aware of;
*In Northlake, the key people that	Olg is aware of having clearsight are Duke Adamas, Apana and Cohner,	there is also a senior officer in the city watch, plus he believes	that the senior researcher that went to Starport had it;
* The forget/ignore effect seems to	cover everything from a period about 10 years into the Age of Chaos	and back. People, religions, events – all seem to come under the	umbrella effect. It seems to particularly limit any focused	activity as opposed to generic. So for instance during the Age of	Chaos people were aware of the Elven ruins but simply passed them	by, as things stabilised people were able to explore these and a	general understanding of the existence of Elves etc. was gained.	People or groups of people with intellect and insight were able to	explore more deeply, hence the success of the College, but even so –	until clearsight began emerging they were just skimming the surface.
* Another thing to note is that once	a fact emerges it seems to be removed from the scope of the	‘forgetting’, once enough people had seen Elves for instance –	their existence become known to all and not considered as folklore.
