 Example Question Oracle Use 
 Question: "Is there a settlement within a day's travel?" 
 Context: You're lost in the twilight belt after your caravan was ambushed. 
 Likelihood: Likely (d8) — settlements are common along routes 
 Roll: 3 → "Yes, but…" 
 Interpretation: "You spot Aurora Bastion's windspires on the horizon, but a dust storm is rolling in from the day side. You'll need to navigate through reduced visibility, and the settlement gates may close before you arrive."
