14: Following Yonder Star
This is my quest, to follow the star
No matter how hopeless, no mater how far
Man Of La Mancha
After the Three Wise Men, what are they following?
Signs and portents appear frequently in mythology, fantasy fiction and elsewhere. They can be tricky things in RPGs, as too much predestination limits players’ options.
Multiple interpretations can help. The best prophecy I ever came up with was in The Watch House season four and could refer to either our hero Milli or our recurring Big Bad Victoria.
Likewise, how much does the portent give away? In the case of the star, it just shows the Magi where to go, and doesn’t warn them about Herod - they get warnings about him in dreams separately.
