Dark Oracle of Air

Dark Oracle of Air

The Dark Oracle of Air was the dark mirror of the Oracle of Air in Rokugan.

Demeanor[]

Possessed of a singularly malevolent sense of mischief, the Dark Oracle of Air was one of the more active Dark Oracles. It was the voice that has seduced so many samurai to leave their comrades within the Shadowlands and embrace the darkness there. It had been known the Dark Oracle of Air to show favor to those children of Fu Leng who displayed a talent for deception. [1]

Abilities[]

Entire battles between the Crab and the Shadowlands had been stopped by clouds of noxious gas that spilled forth from the foul wastes. These clouds killed anything that breathed them in, a creation of the Dark Oracle of Air. [2]

12th century[]

Elemental Terrors[]

The Dark Oracles created the Elemental Terrors in 1126, [3] and made the Womb of Terror, a dead volcano near the Festering Pit of Fu Leng, their home. [4] The nezumi Te'tik'kir of the Crippled Bone Tribe visited the Oracles and bargained with them. The Oracles betrayed him and unleashed the Terrors against his Tribe, which was nearly destroyed in 1127. The Dark Oracle of Earth was killed by Te'tik'kir. [5]

Elemental Nemuranai[]

This year the Oracles of Light decided to counteract their corrupted counterparts, bringing together Asako Shingon and Iuchi Yogosha to create a set of Elemental Nemuranai. The Oracles rested knowing the balance had been achieved. [6] The Dark Oracles sent the Terrors across Rokugan to seize the blessed nemuranai, but in every attempt they were defeated. [7]

After twenty years of peace under the rule of Iweko I, the Celestial Order had been restored and Ningen-do was again neutral. In 1199 the Elemental Dragons prepared the return of the Oracles of Light, as well as the Dark Oracles, permitted leave from the depths of Jigoku by their master, Daigotsu. [10] In 1200 the Conclave of Darkness was attended by Soshi Yoshihara as the new Dark Oracle. [11]
