Mystical Experiences



d6Mystical Experiences
1I realize now that I am but a lens through which the Beyond-Gods see.
2I see now that nobody is truly unique; everyone is made up of the parts that make me, just in a different order.
3I’ve seen the fabled Words of Creation, a vision of three great tomes beyond the heavens.
4During meditation, danger, or a drug-induced hallucination, time slowed to a standstill and I could hear the Beyond-Gods playing dice with my life.
5I looked up and saw a giant—a Beyond-God!—guiding me, like a great angel playing chess.
6In dreams, I’ve walked with the gods among the planes and futures-past. Turns out, the gods are also but characters in a greater story.


d6Bond
1When I care about someone, I invite them to meditate, exercise, or drink tea.
2I believe in the doctrine of Epitheos Monastery, but their practices conflict with those of my homeland.
3My connection to my Beyond-God is strong… But I dare not explain so to others for fear they may think me insane.
4To procure other mystical experiences, I’ve obtained contacts who deal in rare poisons and decadent intoxicants.
5Instructor Seylah took me under-wing from our first meeting. I idolize her sense of perfection.
6As a child, Dreamdrop visited me in a vision and safely guided me to the Monastery.
