You’ve got what?

Which orb is it?

A lot of orbs have been made over the centuries. If you don’t know which one it is -

Does it have a maker’s rune?

Well, what colour is it?

How big is it? Is it hollow or solid?

Does it tingle with strange energies?

Put your ear against the crystal. Can you hear the song of distant angels? Or the echoing laments of a long-imprisoned fey?

Pity, that would have helped.

Yes, I’m still here. I’m trying to find your orb in Mystic Artifacts, but it doesn’t sound like any recent model. I presume you don’t have the original documentation -

There would have been. Are you sure you don’t have it?

Well, where did you get the orb?

Does this prophecy say what the orb is, or how to use it?

It must say something. What does it call the orb? What did it say you were going to find?

The Orb of Power. Well, that’s helpful. That’s a pretty useless prophecy if you ask me.

No, I’m sure the orb is useful -

Yes, it might be good against revenants. And demons.

That would be worth a try, if you can get the thing working. It’s probably quite potent.

I’m sorry, I’m doing my best. But that orb must be from the Age of Wonders, or the High Empire. All that knowledge somehow disappeared - we’re in the Twilight Time now.

Yes, that explains why there’s an army of revenants ravaging the land.

Drinking people’s blood?

Raising corpses?

And the rest of you are starving because the cattle are gone. It sounds pretty bad out there.

Sorry, I was just thinking. I feel terrible about this. There must be some way of using your orb. You’ve tried the Runes of Evocation?

And the Aetheric Chants?

Hmmm….

I’m still here. I’ve just had an idea. I’ll look through the Supplication Scrolls - we might have been asked about this orb before. After all, it’s been around for a long time.

No, don’t wait. There’s a lot for me to read through; it’ll take a while.

I promise.

Yes -

I’ll get back to you.
