The Oracle at the Mazran Temple requires a sacrifice of vitality before it will reveal an ultimate truth to visitors. After spilling a measure of blood into the brass urn the temple room will turn completely black and the oracle, glowing with an inner light, will reveal itself. It will answer any questions directed to it with perfect accuracy, though it's answers will always be vague and couched in mystical terms, but it will only tolerate two or three questions per sacrifice before departing. Once the visitor is done they will leave feeling as though drugged, convinced they saw nothing but smoke and darkness, but aware of thoughts not their own that solve their problem.
