Legacy Power: Secret Histories

Communicate with scars on the world's skin

A 2 Gift Commune Power used by Ryan Stiller, created by niceping.

Description

There is countless amount of scars inflicted upon the world. Some of them are deep - major historical figures that wage wars of conquests and forge empires, events that change course of history. Some of them can hardly be called scars at all - animals, humans and products of their activity, such as languages, texts, machinery, and even the dead.

Rite of Secret Histories is a ritual which allows the one performing the rite to "read" said scars for an hour, though scope of this specific version of a rite is limited purely to the writing and the dead. This rite received it's name for it's immense help in learning what otherwise would be left in the dark - ancient texts, written in long-dead languages. Research notes, written by scholars in ciphers known only be them. Knowledge about ferocious beasts and their weaknesses, learned in fatal battle by now dead hunters and warriors.
