FORTUNES ◎
FORTUNES
Lady Elin, a werewolf oracle, first appeared at the opening of Oleuni Square. There, the Summoned could exchange a card bearing their Arcanum for a reading. Following the attacks, Lady Elin vanished and has not been seen since...until now.
Anyone who's curious about what else she may tell them can visit her to receive additional fortunes. Doing so requires a tarot card which characters will receive in the mail in-game. OOC, players can earn a tarot card for their character through participating in the game's main events.

◎ Requesting a Reading (OOC)
You can get a reading for your character by participating in game events. Each character who participates in two main events can trade their participation for a personalized fortune. For instance, you can submit a character's participation in December's event and February's event to receive a fortune.
We'll respond to requests roughly every other month. If you missed the cutoff, don't worry. We'll get to you when we make our next round.
TO SUBMIT A REQUEST

TO SUBMIT A REQUEST
- Create a comment below with your CHARACTER NAME in the subject if you haven't already.
- Fill out the form provided and reply under the comment of your character's name that you made.
- Threads should be log-style threads that take place in the IC Event Logs posted for each event.
- You may use threads you've submitted for Activity Check and Activity Rewards. As long as the threads take place on the IC Event Logs, they'll be accepted.
- Threads should demonstrate a sufficient amount of engagement. A total of approximately 10 comments from you per event would be acceptable. Comments can be spread out across 2-3 threads and/or contained in a top level.
◎ Receiving a Reading (IC)
In-game, characters will receive a tarot card marked with their Arcanum through the mail. On the back of the card is a stylized E embossed in gold. No note or letter accompanies the message, but her monogram will be immediately recognizable when you spot the wooden sign by her tent in Oleuni Square that advertises Lady Elin's Divinations.
Once received, they can bring the card to Lady Elin during any of Nocwich's opening weekends. She can be found east of Oleuni Square. Her tent is modest without flashy trimmings. She has no equipment beyond a single crystal embedded into a round disc and a few candles. Those who are sensitive to magic will be able to sense the hum of power from her. Whoever she is, she appears to be the real deal - or at least has a significant amount of magic compared to others of her kind.
As the Summoned, Lady Elin will encourage you to get a reading. She may even insist on it if you hesitate. She'll know if you received a card from her and have yet to turn it in. Her presence is calming and she's soft-spoken, if serious. While she will not say as such, it's as if she has something she wants to tell you, something she can only reveal through a reading.

Questions and Answers
If you have any questions not answered below, you can ask us on the FAQ.
- Is there a limit per player?
- No, each player can submit for all characters as long as the characters individually have the required event participation.
- Can my character ask to know more about their fortune?
- Lady Elin will not provide further details beyond the fortune. If asked, she will tell them that the crystal has no more to offer and they must wait for when the time is right for more answers.
- What do these fortunes mean?
- That's for you and characters to find out! Lady Elin will note that she reads souls not the future, suggesting that these fortunes may not necessarily indicate what lies ahead.
- Do the two events my character participates in need to be within a certain time frame?
- We have a soft limit of about 6-8 months. We may request you update one or more links to something more current if too much time has passed since one or both of your event participation links.
- Do the submitted threads need to be completed or started within a certain time period?
- No, but we are looking for sincere participation rather than simply threads created for the purpose of receiving a fortune. A portion of a thread should be reasonably current to the event date rather than several weeks after the event has wrapped. Additionally, if one or more of the events submitted took place a while ago, we would expect to see more to the thread than a recent event from 2 weeks ago.
- Will I need to get a fortune to participate in the game?
- Not at all! The fortunes will slowly reveal interesting lore about the world and your character, but are ultimately meant as a bonus for players who make the effort to engage in the game's events. Players can choose not to engage with this aspect.
- If an event has two parts, do both parts count as a single event or two separate events?
- Each individual part counts as one separate event for any large-scale event that consist of two parts. In other words, you can use Event #12 Part 1 and Event #12 Part 2 for the two submissions required.
- What about Mini-Events?
- Mini-Events also count! If there's a formal OOC Plotting Post and IC Event Log put up for it, it'll count as an "Event."
- What if the thread took place in a character inbox or a personal log?
- Threads submitted should take place on the IC Event Log post.
- Can I submit a thread I've already used for Activity Check or vice versa?
- Yes! Fortunes don't overlap with the main Activity Check or Activity Rewards. You can submit any thread or top level demonstrating that your character was involved in the events regardless of where else you've used that thread as a proof.
- I was late to submit my request and now I have two submissions I can make. Can I submit both at once?
- Yes, but we do ask requests be submitted in a somewhat timely manner so that two submissions at once is not a frequent occurrence. Every so often is fine, however!
