Sandseer Oracle

Born in the heart of forgotten desert ruins, the Sandseer Oracle channels the ageless echoes of ancient civilizations. Through murmured sand runes and shifting hourglass sands, they discern hidden truths and bend moments to their will. Every ripple of wind carries lost knowledge; every grain beneath their feet pulses with arcane resonance. The Oracle stands as a living relic, traversing time’s dunes to safeguard—or exploit—the desert’s deepest secrets.
