Roll 1d12 · Family Faction Themes · p. 95
| d | Result | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Fluidity of time and space | Stasis, distortion, dilation; things where and when they oughtn't be. |
| 2 | Enchantment, dreams and dream-logic, the odd accepted as normal | |
| 3 | Illusion or glamour, often hiding a base or sordid reality | |
| 4 | The intangible made real; metaphor made literal | |
| 5 | Promises, deals, loopholes; debts and insults heavy as iron chains | |
| 6 | Opaque etiquette, strange norms, values upended, seeming amorality | |
| 7 | Passions, whims, excess; the autonomy of others ignored | |
| 8 | Extremes of beauty or ugliness, blurred lines between them | |
| 9 | Malleability of one's looks, identity, true and secret heart | |
| 10 | Liminality — neither spirit nor flesh, here nor there, real nor unreal | |
| 11 | Deep ties to the natural world and spirits of the wild | |
| 12 | Enslavement by the Green Lords, the war against them, the scars |
