You were born beneath an omen-filled sky, your first breath accompanied by strange portents. Whether chosen by fate, blessed by an otherworldly being, or cursed by prophecy, your life has never been your own. Your dreams carry visions of possible futures, and your presence unsettles those who fear the unknown. As a Wyrd-Touched Seer, your role in the tapestry of destiny is inevitable—and dangerous.

Table Description: Use the following table to determine a strange sign that marked your birth or youth, which may continue to influence your journey.
| d8 | Wyrd Signs and Omens |
|---|---|
| 1 | Blood Moon Birth – You were born during a lunar eclipse that turned the moon blood red. Midwives claim your cries echoed like whispers from beyond. Animals often avoid your gaze. |
| 2 | Veil-Torn Dreams – You began sleep-talking as a toddler, speaking fluently in a forgotten or dead language. Your family swore your words foretold things that came true. |
| 3 | Eyes of Two Worlds – One of your eyes is a different color, and people say it shifts hue with the phases of the moon. You sometimes see things others can’t—flickers of spirits, shadowy echoes, or glimpses of alternate fates. |
| 4 | Storm-Wreathed Cradle – A freak thunderstorm erupted over your home the night you were born. Lightning struck the house but left you unharmed. Since then, storms seem to follow you. |
| 5 | Marked by Starlight – A constellation never before seen shimmered into the sky at your birth, only to vanish the next night. A silvery birthmark matching that constellation glows faintly when you are near arcane energy. |
| 6 | The Crow's Chorus – A murder of crows perched silently near your cradle and did not move for three days. Since then, crows and ravens often watch you in eerie stillness. |
| 7 | Silent Wail – You were born not breathing, declared dead, and then suddenly cried out with a voice that silenced everyone in the room. People say death made room for you. |
| 8 | Shadow-Twin – For the first few years of your life, your shadow moved slightly out of sync. It disappeared entirely on your eighth birthday. You occasionally see it again from the corner of your eye. |
You occasionally receive prophetic dreams or visions that hint at possible future events, often in vague or symbolic terms. Once per long rest, the DM may offer you a cryptic hint or symbolic image related to an important upcoming event. These insights may be difficult to interpret but can prove vital.

Wyrd-Touched Seers often make powerful allies—and enemies. You may have past connections to:
-
A secretive cult that views you as a messiah or threat

Rather than being fated, you were cast out for your unsettling visions. Whether from a temple, noble court, or secluded order, your knowledge of fate led to fear and rejection.
You know how to find others like you—outcasts, prophets, and those who’ve seen too much. In any civilized location, you can quickly learn rumors or secrets through an underground network of mystics and misfits who recognize your presence.
