The Oracle of Aal was the last surviving female of the race of the Aal. Though that is merely a convenient label. It was found that she could survive by inhabiting the mind of another and it was judged a necessary evil in order to preserve the power of the Aal in this way. She has the gift of foresight and reads the future for those willing to pay her price which could be anything from a bauble to play with or the still beating heart from your chest.
