Black on both sides, this Card depicts a halfling in simple beggar's robes. His staff is weak & rotting & he holds his hand up as if to order something to stop. Before him, a morag kneels, crumbling, as yellow light emits from the hand. The Card reads, "The Voice of the Foundation is a humble man whose only true power is to rid thre world of that which destroys. His belief is frank, sincere, & ultimately, what holds the universe together." Read aloud to use the power of this Card.

[00:23:41] Dionysus: Aurelia, Avery, in the market, there's one particular siren sitting at a stall, singing out wares of a strange nature. "Tales! Stories! Dreams! Fables! Fictions! Curiosities!"

[00:23:53] * Avery_C looks intrigued and glances at Aurelia.

[00:24:42] * Aurelia looks intrigued herself, and wanders closer to the stall.

[00:24:48] * Avery_C goes with

[00:25:20] * Dionysus will watch, interestedly, & tell Arsul about what it looked like in return.

[00:25:37] Dionysus: The siren smiles at Avery, "Kind sir, you look the sort who would like to hear a story."

[00:26:06] * Avery_C blinks, then grins a bit. "If it's a good one, miss. A good tale's always worth hearing."

[00:26:48] * Aurelia blinks and looks away from the stall.

[00:27:21] Dionysus: As soon as she looks away, the siren pulls a deck of cards & says, "Pick a card, sir." Everything around seems to freeze, Avery, but you don't notice.

[00:29:16] Dionysus: The card is white on both sides.

[00:29:22] * Avery_C blinks at it.

[00:29:32] Dionysus: The siren smiles & takes it, looking, "The Voice of the Foundation... An interesting tale.

[00:29:33] Dionysus: "

[00:29:39] * Avery_C cocks his head, curious.

[00:29:48] Dionysus: "Once upon a time," and at those words, you become enraptured with the story.

[00:30:38] Dionysus: "A man learned that the universe, & indeed, all universes, rested on a Foundation."

[00:30:59] Dionysus: "And he leanred that the only thing keeping this Foundation intact was the belief of the peoples of the universe in this Foundation."

[00:31:21] Dionysus: "All things extant were part of this Foundation, save for the terrible Rending at the center of the universe, from which the foul hexars & morags came."

[00:31:34] Dionysus: "And he found, too, that wherever he went, none knew of the Foundation save himself."

[00:31:46] Dionysus: "Indee,d he seemed to be the only one in the world that believed in it."

[00:32:07] Dionysus: "He suspected he might be the only one in all the universe who believed. If he died, he thought, the universe would cease to be."

[00:32:48] Dionysus: "He traveled far & wide seeking those who might follow him. Ages he walked, preaching the word."

[00:33:03] Dionysus: "Only when the day came that destruction rained from above did any heed his words."

[00:33:29] Dionysus: "Then, the dreaded morags were turned back by his hand alone, by his faith."

[00:33:34] Dionysus: "And one man came to him."

[00:33:45] Dionysus: "To this man, the Voice of the Foundation bequeathed belief..."

[00:33:51] Dionysus: "And so the cycle continued."

[00:33:57] Dionysus: She hands the card back.

[00:34:04] * Avery_C looks awed.

[00:34:17] Dionysus: "Read it aloud if you are ever in trouble. It might help you."

[00:34:26] Avery_C: "I...thank you..."

[00:35:06] Dionysus: You blink.

[00:35:15] Dionysus: She's gone.
