Her sea journey was once again beset with difficulties, and her ship was boarded by pirates. None of them survived. She arrived at shores she barely remembered with nothing but her own strength. Yet now she is beloved as a true Hero among her own people. |

Palgan had been meditating in the thin air close to the clouds, but he offered to take her with him on returning to his homeland. One night, Theresa awoke to find him performing a ritual above her, in an attempt to steal her prophetic powers. She killed him and used the amulet that had transported him half-way across the globe. She lives in the East now, haunted by her past only in rare nightmares. |

In his youth, when he went by the name of Weaver, he was part of a cluster of Heroes, Maze among them, who rebelled against the previous Guild regime, and its resolution of offering only virtuous Quests. Much blood was spilled in this short revolt in the name of freedom, leaving the number of Heroes, already rare in a world of diminishing Will presence, at its lowest for centuries. It was Scythe who proposed Weaver as the new Guildmaster, seeing in him the serene and impartial man he would become. Someone who would leave the moral destiny of all future acolytes in their own hands. |

It was a storm as none aboard had ever seen, but the great warrior was concerned with one thing only: quelling the cries of a child, his young sister Whisper. The wave bore the vessel across vast expanses of ocean and into a nest of Krakens. Thunder cast down lightning upon them and, gathering Whisper in his arms, dove into the waters. As he swam, they heard the screams of dying men and the sounds of timber torn apart behind them. It was two days before they reached the shores of Albion, leaving their home as far off as a dream. |

She has made the Guild her home, and it is in its books that she has found the companionship she has never asked for from another living being.

This article is about the interactive Oracle. For the quest, see Oracle of Snowspire. |
Snowspire Oracle is a large monument created by four Will users in the Third Archon Kingdom. It is located in Snowspire Village of the Northern Wastes in Fable: The Lost Chapters. After completing the associated quest the Hero of Oakvale is able to ask the Oracle about several things including the creatures and history of Albion and, if the Hero chose to spare them, the fates of Thunder, Whisper, and Theresa.
History
During the Third Archon Kingdom, it was ordered that an enormous monument must be created from an extremely large slab of rock. Four Will users (Yeron, Moryk, Calran and Avisto) created the Snowspire Oracle, and four Glyphs that contained the knowledge of how to use its power. The objective of this huge monument was to prepare the Kingdom for the future, while keeping record of the present and past.
Thousands of years later, The Oracle was under imminent attack, so the four Glyphs were buried in the Necropolis, near Snowspire Village, and there they remained, waiting to be found.
The Oracle and The Hero
After years of peace in Albion, Jack of Blades once again managed to spread evil in the world, so it is the Hero's task to defeat him. When he reaches Snowspire for the first time, Scythe asks him to find four glyphs to allow them to speak with the Oracle in the quest Oracle of Snowspire. Finishing this quest will allow the Hero to perform the Yeron, Moryk, Calran and Avisto expressions, allowing him to ask about four things, respectively: the People of Albion, Albion Lore, the Creatures of Albion, and the History of Albion.
Trivia
- When the four oracle expressions are used, The Hero makes a Y, M, C, or A with his arms, a reference to the choreography for the song "Y.M.C.A.", by the Village People.
