 Heaven                                                                                                                                                             Earth
 ______   An I-Ching reading is a form of Divination            ___   ___ 
 ______   popular among the Diviners of nexus, both for it's    ___   ___
 ______   for it's simplicity and it's complexity. Usually      ___   ___ 
          performed by Coins or Yarrow stalks, the Diviner 
          seeks to release a person's dormant destiny, and 
          to provide assistance and insight to a problem.
    Wind  To receive an I-Ching reading, you must send a         Thunder 
_______   letter to a Diviner guide stating why you would like  ___  ___
_______   to receive such a reading. When the guide receives    ___  ___
___  ___  your letter, they will send you a small quest to      _______ 
          complete. Below is an example of a request.

          For everyone's first five I-Ching readings, you
    Fire  must have a minimum of Dog karma, and for the         Water
_______   next five readings, you must have a minimum of        ___  ___ 
___  ___  Tiger karma. All readings after that require Spirit   _______
_______   or higher karma. If you have an arrest, it must be    ___  ___
          over one Yuri old for us to consider your request. 
                
          For every Yuri you have been alive within the 
          kingdom, you are permitted one reading. You must
   Pond   wait two weeks between readings, so that all          Mountain 
___  ___  may receive the I-Ching's lessons. If you are          _______ 
_______   interested in such a reading, send your request        ___  ___ 
_______   to one of these guides; Airess,  Kahni, Iruma,         ___  ___
          Zario, CheetosGal, Daos, Corath, Kiia.
                
          Do not whisper a guide for a reading, nor ask them 
  /.)\    for answers to the questions they give you. The quest     /(.\
  \(./    is yours, and yours alone, and must not be shared with    \.)/ 
          others. Failure to comply to either of these rules will 
          result in the guide disregarding your request. Remember
          that a guide always has the final say on all matters.

---V----------------V---Example of a Request---V---------------V--- Good evening, Prophet Gull.

     Over the past three moons, my visions have been plagued 
      incessently with memories of the shattering. Sagu's laughter, 
      like an ill wind, flowing through the streets of kugnae, turning the 
      leaves to autumn, causing pestilence to check through the kingdom 
      unheeded, and leaving many brave and valiant warrior dead. I 
      wonder though, are these merely memories of what has happened... 
      or, and this is the fear that haunts me the most, are they a 
      premonition of things to come again?

With the most sincerest regards, Merchant Cemi.
