Revision as of 22:35, 11 December 2018

Greensward has hundreds of constellations belonging to seven Houses. As the significant planetary bodies move through these houses, the arcane power of these houses ebb and flow. The greatest sages of antiquity could not predict the dominant Zodiac out to a week, and modern scholars can only reliably predict the Zodiac one day in advance.

Sorcerers who describe themselves as Wild Magic acolytes draw on this fluctuation to empower their magical strength. Others of this devotion prefer to call themselves Star Sorcerers. The name is superfluous, the effect is the same.

Each day at dusk, with the setting of the sun and the first twinkling of the North Star, the Zodiac shifts into one of the following Houses:


Proficient Arcanists may make a check to determine the house in effect if they are outside under a clear sky. Failure by 5 or more reveals no result, a failed check by 4 or less will predict the wrong house.

Beyond the natural houses, certain consecrated areas or the presence of powerful outsiders may cause results from the Celestial or Demonic table instead of the natural result.
