Visited by the superstitious people of a primitive tribe, the Soothsayer provides guidance using various means of divination, primarily reading and interpreting the stars and constellations.

Their fate will change depending on your auguries. Overthink every constellation, or let the stars freely enter your mind. You are the Soothsayer and yours is the way to read the future.
