Story Post: Winter Reading

Long have I dealt out the tarot cards. This is what they tell me. Obey these Predictions for your Birth Signs and you will gain fortune at the passing of the season.

The Eel
Distaff: Buy at least one Animal this summer.
Flax: Do not hold the job of Shepherd.
Spindle: Hold the job of Clerk.

The Bee
Distaff: Do not have a hearth in your home.
Flax: Hold the job of Farmer.
Spindle: Hold the job of Priest.

The Toad
Distaff: Gain at least one book this season.
Flax: Suffer the Plague in your home.
Spindle: Hold the job of Healer.

The Crossed Swords
Distaff: Have less furniture at the end of this season than you did at the beginning.
Flax: Do not hold the job of Smith.
Spindle: Do not die.

The Greater Triangle
Distaff: Do not hold the job of Builder
Flax: Have less meat at the end of this season than you did at the beginning.
Spindle: Have less money at the end of this season than you did at the beginning.

The Parapet
Distaff: Have at least one constellation from your birthsign visible in the sky.
Flax: Hold the job of Teacher.
Spindle: Have at least one animal in your house.

Follow these forecasts and the great wheel of fate is sure to look upon you with benevolent eyes.

Due to a weird quirk of the way these are generated, they haven’t actually changed since the last lot.

Eel Distaff looks defective.  Are you sure it was generated correctly?

Sylphrena - of course.

Bucky - well spotted - I was lazy and just copy-pasted the last one. It should be “make one sacrifice this winter”. Fortunately we don’t have any distaff eels.
