My future, and your present

Greetings, all My children.

I write this post to inform you that, at this significant time for My
realm, there is immediate opportunity for any of you to render Me great
service. Read on, those who would aid Mystery, with minds open and
inspired.

It is common knowledge that I have been the subject of a mysterious
transformation, ever since My temple at Akhenades was toppled by the
petulance of the vanquished Earth elemental Fordrock. More precisely,
all four of the physical elements are involved in this process, and the
imbalance between them (possibly after-effects of the events in the
Tareas thirteen years ago, possibly related also the helplessness I
perceive coming from the realm of Fire) is driving, or else hindering,
this transformation.

We have recently made a breakthrough in understanding, to a greater
extent, the interactions of the elements with one another and with
Myself. Any two elements can act in concert, pairing their
characteristics to combine into a single force. Our realization is that
each of these six possible elemental pairs corresponds to a realm of
Mystery and knowledge - those realms being Architecture, Art, Astronomy,
Geography, History, and Medicine. This is the direction in which I am
fated to journey.

Recently I decided to risk the experiment of spreading My essence
globally across Aetolia (as you might have perceived at the time of its
happening), knowing that much of it would find no target or be wasted.
However, I noticed an important impact upon ten minds in particular,
though I could not single them out among the vast tapestry of Aetolian
life. These inhabitants of Aetolia, whose minds My essence has touched,
have been rendered partially awake and aware. It is My belief that these
ten are being prepared by My essence within them to become My servants
and priests, each with special knowledge of one of the elements or
realms mentioned above.

These individuals could be anywhere, My children. I can tell that they
were not particularly aware before now, thus ruling out some of the more
intelligent Aetolians, but only that is known, other than what your
common sense might tell you. They might be standing next to the being
you are killing right now. They will not look any different, other than
perhaps seeming a bit more pensive than before. However, if you address
them appropriately, they will be compelled to tell you of the vision My
essence has stimulated within them.

Find these bettered minds, My children. Ask those whom you encounter
what they know about Earth, for example, or what they know about
Architecture. There is someone out there who has been touched by visions
of each of the four physical elements, and someone who has been touched
by visions of each of the six realms of knowledge. Find any one of these
ten, My children, and assist them in whatever way they ask. The Goddess
of Mystery shall not leave your service unrewarded.

Seek guidance from those within the Acumen Circle, should you not know
where to begin. Moreover, if you need further support, seek it from the
Guilds, City, and Consanguine Houses I Matron, for they are sworn to
uphold any efforts to assist My realm. Only act immediately, My
children. When destiny provides an opportunity to assist a Goddess, only
the bold shall succeed.

Seek them. Ask them. Assist them.
